Rosette Nebula

Has anyone viewed the Rosette Nebula in Monoceros? According to 'The Night Sky Observers Guide Vol. 1', it is possible to view it through 10x50 bins. In a 8"/10" scope at x50, it is described as bright. I tried last night with a 10" Dob, but couldn't make it out. It is possible that high level cloud may have reduced transparency, and was low in alt at 15 degrees at the time.

Cheers
John
