Demonperformer Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Just a reminder that tomorrow morning (Wed 28th) Io and its shadow will be in transit of Jupiter at the same time as the GRS is visible.Timetable (all times from Sept AN):=======================Transit starts: 3.01 BSTGRS crosses meridian: 4.20 BSTShadow transit ends: 4.23 BSTSo I guess between 3.30 and 4.00 would be a good time to image the event.(There are four similar events - one with Io, three with Europa - in October if you miss this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Thanks very much for that, really want to catch a transit though doubt I will be able to stay up this time due to work.I've seen that there is an Io transit is on 22nd Oct so am looking forward to catching that at PSP if it's clear.Do you have dates for the others so I can check on stellarium?CheersStuSent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Fabulous, thanks very much that helps alot :-) Should be able to catch at least one of those I hope.Do you agree that there is also an Io transit on 22nd? My phone app is showing this and it also agrees with all the ones you posted so seems to be accurate.StuSent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonperformer Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Absolutely.ShI=2054, TrI=2105, ShE=2305, TrE=2313But am now somewhat confused. AN does not list a GRS transit at this time, but according to CdC Io will be slap bang over GRS at 2230?????Maybe I ought to check all my other details ....

Stephen Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Don't suppose there's one in the early hours of a Saturday or Sunday morning any time soon is there?Work isn't too much fun on no sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonperformer Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Kh3,Well, 22nd (above) is a Saturday evening, and there is also one on Sat 15th between about 8/9pm.The 28th (listed in my first post) is a Friday evening, but the closest I can get to an 'early hours' one (during Oct) Sat 29th from about 2300 through to just before 0100 on Sunday morning.These are all based on Cdc.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Great, thanks. That's very good news, should be excellent, if clear........I've heard of issues, with stellarium I think of the grs ' predictions' not being correct. Perhaps same issue for CdC?StuSent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 My app is showing an Io transit at around 10pm tonight, and the forecast looks clear. Need to negotiate with the mrs for a pass for the evening...... ;-)StuSent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
