    A while back I had a couple of nice evenings with extremely favorable
    conditions and passes, and thought I might as well just give it a try. Even
    under the nicest phase angles I saw absolutely zilch with my binocs, which
    was about what I had expected with such a small object. I'd be quite
    surprised to learn of anyone who would have successfully observed it.
