    Will continue to revisit this, weather permitting. We've been in a
    long stretch of highly unusual afternoon and evening rain, so not much
    imaging in the last few weeks.

    I wonder, if I'm able to see it with 80 mm APO shorty refractor?
    🤔

    ?

    I was just able to see it in 8x50 binoculars when it was about mag 10.
    It's around 11 now. If you have decent skies, you should be able to
    see it with a 80mm scope.

    Wow!
