Thanks for the excellent information. I had a look at the RNGC before I posted the above query. Your first entry (138x) with "Diffuse and gossamery. Hardly there at all." sums up what I thought I saw through the eyepiece. I'll translate the hardly there to not there in my case.
My observation was from the backyard in the far northern suburbs of Adelaide. While I routinely see down to magnitude 11.8 around that part of the sky, I will not claim I have seen this particular object and put it on my list of things to look at with (a) a dark site and (b) larger telescope.
Thanks again for your excellent notes.
