Hi Mike,

Thanks for posting the info.
Just had a look at the 9th and 24th with The Sky 6. It agreed with Starry Night for the 9th and also the 24th for the position of Titan, however it has Mimas also transiting on the 24th at the same time, just east of the CM at 12:15 UTC. Starry Night has Mimas east of the planet disk.

Starry Night shows the inner moons and also the shadow transits which The Sky does not, wondered how to go about confirming one or the other data sets regarding Mimas. I suppose on that morning if Mimas shows up or not will determine which is more accurate but I am surprised that they differ at all.

Regards
Trevor
