  Saturn's geometric magnitude and albedo were determined by Mallama et al.
(2017, Icarus 282, 19-33). That analysis depended largely on photometric data
obtained when the ring system interfered with observations of the globe. In
this study the magnitude and albedo are re-evaluated based on spectrophotometry
obtained during a ring-plane crossing (Karkoschka, 1998, Icarus, 133, 134-146).
A better correction for the illumination phase angle of Saturn's globe is also
derived and it is applied to the spectroscopy. The resulting values for most of
the 12 Johnson-Cousins and Sloan wavelength bands agree reasonably well with
those reported by Mallama et al. but some significant differences are noted.
The revised albedo value for the Rc band reduces the discrepancy with that
inferred from the work of Dyudina et al. (2005, ApJ 618, 973-986).
