Did anyone see the moons of jupiter last night? Two moons almost covering one another, looked like they were touching. Was hoping sombody could ident which two were so close?

Certainly handy for stuff like this - though I never use it. There's also a Sky&Telescope Javascript for Jupiter's moons (and red spot):

Thanks for posting this link.  I have just printed the GRS and Moons transit times, so I will know when to point the scope at Jupiter for maximum interest.
