The cloud partially cleared long enough for a quick look for SN2012fr in NGC 1365 tonight using a 10" Dob. The transparency was quite poor, but I was able to find 1365 with the use of charts generated by SkyTools (below). The sighting of 1365 was confirmed by the expected star patterns, but I couldn't clearly define the SN near the fuzzy core - but I was aware that something was there, though. I will need to wait for better viewing conditions to confirm it.

Cloud! Give us a break!
