It seems there's lots going on tonight, if you can see Jupiter... Between about 02:20 and 07:20 Saturday morning there'll be transits involving Io and Europa, with both satellites being in transit between about 04:20 and 04:35... (times a bit approximate, allow about 5 minutes for errors...)

Hey, I'd settle for shifting them a few hours earlier... Between 6 and 11pm would be good :wink:

Why not go the whole hog and view them during the day. Just pray for good clear weather - Oh!, and switch the Sun off of course.

There's also the minor matter of all that grey opaque stuff above us... :wink:
