Phil,
I am not aware that it has ever been observed visually. Its too close to the rings. I have not found any evidence of it ever being imaged by amateurs either. As far as I can tell the old ground based observations were sparse, required a large aperture refractor, excellent seeing, and some sort of chronograph. This isn't so much about aperture, but being technically difficult. Some sort of modern lucky imaging campaign might work.
