Tried for Kopff last week, but no luck.
Thankyou OBM re eyepiece - i think I usually use higher mag ones, so try another less mag.

Hi Liz,
If you're looking to find 22P it's nearby a bright star in Aquarius, it has a nicely condensed pseudo nucleus and the outer coma is faint but large.
Im sure you'll find it with a low power eyepiece. One trick i use to find fuzzies is very similar to finding faint galaxies where you tap the scope gently and watch what wobbles in the field of view.
Might help, are you under dark skies or suburban skies???
