There's a double-transit coming up on 4 October - early evening. Ganymede and Callisto.

That will be fun to watch! Now if only those  white fluffy things in the sky stay away....

Thanks for this

Jupiter is more or less invisible for me until about 7:30 pm due to a cluttered horizon but I should be able catch the 2nd half action if the clouds co-operate (thats a big IF looking at the forecasts ).

If it's clear I'll be able to observe this event from the Bristol AS observatory now, which has a nice clear horizon

Forecast does not look great for Monday evening though. Better on Tues and Wednesday.

Not too hopeful about seeing this, although the jet stream is forecast to be missing my location the weather forecast is for rain. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
