Your 12" should nab it. A good medium-short Plössl or an ortho is very helpful for contrast and no light scatter. Good transparency as well, though good seeing will help it stand out longer.

Find the field (I used Sky Safari), let it drift. Rinse and repeat over and over. Get your eyeball down in there and pray an aircraft doesn't pass through the FOV or you will soil your underwear. :D
