The brightest section is wrapped around an asterism of stars that reminds me of the "Keystone" of Hercules. When locating it I don't even look for the nebulosity I just focus on the spotting the asterism.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out again in a couple of days with that in mind.

FWIW, I had no trouble locating the Crescent in my 10", w/o filter, at my dark sky site a couple of days ago. It was faint but readily visible. I didn't add a filter, but should have. I will next time.
