Heheheh, just popped outside and realised the school field points South,
with a large common land area beyond, so thought I'd have a look ..
Found it within a minute or so. The sky, especially high in the sky,
and light pollution around here isn't so bad as we're well outside town.
Junior School have a decent telescope so I'll see if I can't get a
piccie or two, though I've (and the school) never connected my camera to
the scope before ...
Wionderful, Simon, thanks for pointing it out ..
