Well remembered Tony!
It was with the 14" in the observatory which, as I have now found out, can reach +47 in Alt before the tube strikes the fork base. As I was in the house (it was way too cold for me to venture down the slope!) I don't know how much, if any, roof was in the way - I may check it out in the warmth of the day this weekend.
I was chuffed to find it, at mag 13 it should have been easy but the height and general conditions made the process much harder to a point where it came into view just a few mins before sliding too far North. As such I didn't get second shot an our or so later to make a good astrometric measurement, but with it being fast moving, I may have useful data for the MPC anyway.
