I could not see Saturn with the naked eye, but I did get it in my telescope, and so some people got to see a Saturn without rings. I showed Albireo, and pointed it out in the sky with my laser pointer - some people said I had better vision than they. A picture of Albireo would not look as good as the real thing. Gary Cowardin caught a satellite going directly in front of Jupiter. It was a good night, despite the haze, full moon, and lights, which were shielded away from us.
