I tried to find it with our 4" scope Thursday night but we had too many clouds.
To find it take the last 2 stars in the dippers handle and make an upward pointing triangle with the invisible nova as the top point and you should be close , then you need to look around for it.

Checked out the sky last night, and I could locate the Big Dipper's handle, and it was definately not what I saw the previous a.m. This morning, I could only see the bright body I saw Saturday before daylight, too much cloud cover to see any other stars.
