Chi is located just below Gamma.
I hope you find it!

Good luck with it, I'll be out with binocs & camera tomorrow morning, sky willing! Attached is the view from your place tomorrow morning, generated in Starry Night.


Cheers -
Thanks Rob, yes, I think there are a few crunchy areas around by the sounds.

Liz....whats your limiting magnitude like up there in Maroon land where you are?
Sounds like a good mission.
Actually, I am pretty lucky, and live north of Townsville city, so fairly dark to the North.
