Large-scale interplanetary dust arcs were predicted by Schuerman (1980) to be associated with the planets. An arc, if one exists, would produce asymmetries on opposite sides of the Gegenschein during the Earth’s two passages through the arc each year. A brief description is given of Gegenschein/arc observing constraints, of future viewing opportunities, and of the results of a test program conducted from Mt. Haleakala, Hawaii, in Jan/Feb 1984 when the Earth encountered the arc associated with Saturn.
