The rising moon may had a little to do with contrast and this observation has not been corrected for atmospheric extinction at the altitude.

A report this morning from the northern hemisphere reads a mag of 7.6, DC=3 and Dia= 16'.

Cheers!
Thanks Chris, lucky you to catch it!!
I have been looking outside overnight, but staying CLOUDY.
Plenty of time left to see it though, yes.
