*Bump!*
Still visible mag 4.6 (ill have to get the meade out, early evening now for this) Easy to see in binoculars, also with the naked eye --> Get 5 miles away from any town lights!

You had me going there, I though you had posted a picture

Fantastic chart though. Might even be able to find it myself with that!
