We have a clear night here, so I will keep an eye out on these events.
In the early morning a Ganymede eclipse begins, followed by a Europa eclipse reappearance and then the Ganymede eclipse reappearance. I suspect I will be in bed asleep when these events occur.

I suspect it will still be raining here in Sydney !
Thanks Steve for these reports ...I've missed a few events due to
persistent rain in Syney..but still I'll wait for the next lot of transits and eclipses...esp Ganymede, and maybe its markings 1.5" disk..will be tough even in good seeing!
With thanks bigjoe.
