I was just outside (9:26pm cst) and found G1 (Mayall II) with my dob. It was quite faint. I used a Celestron 20mm with a Celestron 2X barlow. I followed the chart in the Dec S&T on page 78. It is almost overhead at my location of 42N 89.6W and in the dob hole so moving the scope around was a chore. Give it a try.
