As I said in my post above, not everybody I have observed with can readily/easily get the nebulosity to dim/disappear and the star to POP. I encourage them to stare at the star, and I don't remember anybody who finally was unable to see the effect, though maybe they are humoring me?! If I were you I would give it another go, as it is a pretty cool thing to see. STARE at it, and I bet it will blink for you. One final thing - I have only observed this stuff from rural-ish Vermont with mag. 5.5-5.9 skies. I don't know what I would see in a more light polluted environment, though I do assume that the effect would show even better with darker skies.
