I've devised a method to locate this pair during broad daylight. My scopes do not have setting circles or go-To functions. It appears that the two planets will transit from my location ~14:25 and will be too faint to sweep up using my 13" Dob. This is about 2hours after the close appulse that Spider mentions. I plan on centering the nice double star 17CMa at 1:15 or earlier when it is near the meridian. I'll then lock down the scope and simply wait 13h14m51s. At that time, the Saturn/Jupiter pair should be just 4 arc minutes south of my center FOV.
Was wondering how to turn of all the Saturian Moons other than Rhea and Titan. I'm fairly sure that only those will be bright enough to view in daylight in my 13".
