Yeah, I saw a report last week. Went out into the sticks last night to take a peek. Lovely clear night, I scanned with a good pair of 10x50s but couldn't see it. I think with it still being faint, green and with my eyes it was eluding me. Magnitude 8, so on the cusp of what's just about visible for me.
