Shibby Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hi! Not entirely sure why, but I've done a map showing roughly where you'd need to be to see it actually transit Jupiter I've placed the points exactly, but this does rely on the accuracy of Stellarium and the satellites plugin.Here's a link to the map itself:Unknown road to 55.207681, -2.622789 - Google Mapsedit:btw, the transit time according to Stellarium is more like 1:37am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
