Hi - I've a lo-res shot of Jupiter for above date/time and suspect it shows some transit events.

Can someone point me to a suitable site or show me what went on about then? TIA

Stellarium, you can rewind or forward time to show sky at time you're after ... And its free

Thanks - any chance of a frame capture at the date/time - my lappy too full for more s/ware :-)

from an app i have on my phone "Moon of Jupiter" Io and Ganymede were both in eclipse behind jupiter, with Europa and Callisto both off on the same side.  The app doesnt clearly give the orientation but I think that neither would have been casting a shadow on the disk.  So no transits, no shadows.

Thanks for that - it answers my query - that there's no moons/shadows in transit.
