I saw it last night, except that it wasn't blinking. I tried to make it blink by looking directly at it and then looking away, but it glowed steadily - a bluish little ball with haze around it.

It's a small object, chances are you might of seen it without knowing it. I for one had looked for that object, but likely saw without knowing it.

It sure is a small object. I just located it once, but i hope my new dob will make it easier to look at it, at an easier position, ie me sitting on a chair vs laying on the ground.
