I was out in Coney Island for an aquarium society meeting tonight and took the Mini Mak with me to try to observe Rhea occulting SAO 159034. I set up on the boardwalk adjacent to the NY Aquarium's Education Building a bit early and it was a good thing I did. It took a long time to weed Saturn out of all the planes arriving at and departing from EWR. Once I identified it Saturn was east to see but that is all. No SAO 159034, no Titan, and definitely no Rhea. There was a low deck of stratus clouds out in that direction that weren't helping me any but I think, at least for my eyes, more than the 60mm S&T was recommending was required.
