Yes, I was looking at that time, but as Frank wrote, this was like looking
for Phobos and Deimos near Mars.  The contrast just wasn't there, although
it may have been on a steadier night.

I was unrealistically hoping to see the star emerge through some of the
ring gaps as 28 Sagittarii did a decade ago.  That star is 100 times as
bright as this one, though.
