At 22:47:40 local HA predicted a 77degree pass for me , which would transit within a few arc seconds of Mizar. Predicted magnitude was 6.3 ( 4.2 by Calsky) Sky conditions were good and I centred the scope on Mizar with a 7 x 5 arc minute FOV. Using this set up I can see down to about mag 8 or so. The camera was left running for 60 seconds either side of the pass time , but nothing seen. Hopefully someone else has had better luck!
