I have seen it many times in my 16" binocular with two UHC filters. At star parties I have had several other members of the public see it as well. I needed to show them a photo first to let them see the right area and star patterns. You need to know your field very well or it is so easy to miss. Never been able to make out any hook just a definite dark blob in the right place. I have also seen it without filters, but it was much less obvious. Remember the binocular gives you a 40% contrast increase over one eye and better shape recognition. This makes it perfect for this type of object. It is about the same as a 22" monoscope.
