M1 and saturn time.

I left my astronomy magazine at work. What night and time are they going to meet? I thought it was Sunday, but I may be mistaken.

It is tonight (pretty much all night for North America).
I wouldn't expect to see the Crab visually; even with narrowband filters the glare from Saturn will likely overpower it. Our club tried with variety of instruments ranging up to 15" in aperture and numerous eyepieces and filters, no one could confirm seeing M1. This was last night under lousy seeing conditions and lots of light pollution though. Some members had seen the Crab in the same field of view as Saturn easily a few days back though. We just have to remember that Saturn is 250,000 times brighter than M1.
