Keep an eye out though, particularly after the bright moon disappears from the sky. It may brighten further.

Thanks Greg,I observed it under a dark sky with reasonable seeing and thought every now and then a brief point of light was visible from the S/N location , But I put it down to averted imagination
Cheers
