I deliberately looked for it given my C8 just arrived this week. I can definitely see it from urban Perth with my favourite eyepiece the pentax xw14 although nothing like the photo I took a few weeks ago of it. I have been dabbling in astrophotography the last few months and neglecting the visual side. After collimating the SCT on Friday it was a joy to have such pleasure with visual astronomy even with average seeing conditions. I've been lucky enough to have 2 very clear satellite transits of Jupiter on those 2 nights, have a wow with 47 Tuc and of course Orion.
