Where do you get your predictions from?

I use

http://media.skyandtelescope.com/documents/JphenTab10.pdf

I printed out a copy, which I leaf through regularly. This lists when moons pop in and out of Jupiter's shadow, when moons transit Jupiter (can be difficult), when moon shadows are on Jupiter (fairly easy)and when moon occult each other.

I just tried using Stellarium.

If you use Stellarium, make sure that you check "Simulate light speed" in the Sky and viewing options window [F4].

Am I right in thinking that there's another one tomorrow at about 23:00?

Tonight, the shadow of Europa is on Jupiter between 19:14 - 22:00 BST, and Europa transits Jupiter between 20:19 - 23:00 BST.

Interesting, didn't know about that. Ta.

Great. Should be some clear sky tonight as well.

Thanks.
