I was able to get an observation of NGC 1333 this past Saturday night with my 28 inch scope. It was barely seen using 253x but then the SQM was 20.36 at the time and transparency was rather poor, and the seeing was pretty lousy too. My old Deep Sky filter slightly boosted contrast, but I didn't see anything with the filter I couldn't see without it.

I'm encouraged that much more can be seen with better observing conditions so this will be on my list all autumn and winter.
