["Tom Polakis" <polakis@xxxxxxx>]

I was out there last night, once at about 1:00, and again at 5:00.  I
never saw the 10th-magnitude star that should have been near Saturn. 
Seeing was pretty terrible, so you wouldn't expect to see much at ingress,
with Saturn 10 degrees above the horizon.  It was still bad when Saturn
was near the zenith four hours later.  I didn't expect to see the
reappearance, but at least hoped to see the star between the globe and the
C ring.  For what it's worth, Tethys and Dione (both 10th magnitude) were
steadily visible at this time, but they were a bit farther out from the
glare of the planet.
