It's gotten a lot brighter since I imaged it on 8-26 UT right after
discovery. It will be in the trees once the moon is out of the way I'm
afraid. I did try one other night but results don't look promising. In
the 5 days since your image it probably is even brighter. I'll have to
take binoculars out into the lake and take a look. Only way to avoid
the forest.
