I went out to try to find Saturn again and immediately saw it over the street. It was brighter than Regulus and I had to look hard and block street lights to find Regulus (m 1.35) and Algieba (m 2.61). I eventually also found Denebola (m 2.14), Zosma (m 2.56) and Chort (m 3.34). I was not able to see any of the Sickle stars except maybe Ras Elased Australis (m 2.98), the nose of the lion.
