I had a look through my 10" Dob this morning at 5am AEDT. I couldn't see it. Seeing was reasonable on a cool morning, and the time should have been right. Maybe the contrast was not good enough for my eyes. Although having to regularly move the scope (it is not tracking) and watch Saturn drift across does make it difficult to get the best seeing in the middle of the field of view.
I think the storm will be visible about 2:30 -3 tomorrow morning but Saturn won't be very high above the horizon.
