Thanks to Suzy, who let me know about this sn, I got last night the opportunity to look for it.
Last night the sky here in Toowoomba was really good (a real rarety lately...
) and following her precise instructions I found quickly m95 (using my 12" Lightbridge dob).
However it was very faint and I could spot it only with my 2 longer focal EPs (Meade 26mm and GSO SV 50mm).
When I tried to get closer with the other EPs (Skywatcher 13mm, and the just arrived 7mm Nagler
), it wasn't there anymore...
I guess light pollution up here should be less an issue than in Brisbane, but sadly to observe at Mars I have to set the scope in direct line of sight of a bright street light about 30mt away
Also I thought that maybe the sky above me actually wasn't as clean as it looked to me. But I'm not able yet to properly assess its real observing conditions, so this is just a long shot trying to explain what was not right. Moreover, I washed both the primary and secondary just 2 days ago. Although they are not new and has several bad spots (some fungus and nasty dirt hard bits), they are very little and while a recoating would surely be nice, in my understanding I can live without it for the time being. I definetly exclude collimation problems, as I did it one each time I moved the dob around the backyard (it sits on a 4 wheels trolley).
Hope to be able bringing the dob in a real dark sky location soon so finally being able to enjoy a glimpse to this new jewel (and of course many other beauties up there).
However, the night wasn't wasted. The Nagler delivered some of the best views I ever had to the usual beauty up there with Omega Centaury and Saturn views by far the best ones
Cheers
