Hey Ken,

Np's mate, 59-Upsilon Aquarii is a star just east of the Helix. Actually I tried it last night and found in my 30mm SV I could get both in the same field of view. 59-Upsilon Aquarii also has this designation SAO 191235 if you have some astro soft like CDC you should be able to punch it in. Or you could line up Uranus and pan 11° due south where you will come across 59-Upsilon Aquarii and the Helix.

MOC is Monthly Object Challenge, The helix happens to be one of October's

If you like I can make a star chart for you, that shows a fairly easy star hop to the Helix. The Helix should look pretty good from your dark skies.

regards,CS
