Anyone know when the next transits of moons are due?

Looking forward to seeing one.

Many thanks ?

Its been a while since I saw a transit too, I must be a bit more vigilant about planning to view them.  The first one I ever saw I honestly believed there was a perfect spot of dirt on my eyepiece lens (it was the shadow).  I was taken back by the clarity of that dot of black on the surface of the planet.  They are beautiful sights and regular enough to be embraced.

Io starts to transit at about 00:48 hrs early in the morning tonigh UK time.

I got up for the transit last night at 1:30 am and was treated with the best seeing i  can recall for years. Was at 174 x in my Tak FC100 and the shadow along with the belts were razor sharp. First one i've actually seen in ages as Jabeoo said, i never really look when they are to plan to view one.

I was out last night and saw on sky safari that a transit was due in the early hours but it was way past my bedtime for a weekday so I had to miss it.

Anyone out there trying to find the Moons of Jupiter, and locate the Great Red Spot (GRS), may like this neat, little piece of computer-software (FREE, of course ):

GRS transit was too late for me last night and I've not seen any transits this apparition. Must try harder!
