Totally clouded out 😡 I did manage to follow a Ganymede transit last year in very good seeing conditions. I watched the final approach to ingress and the ingress continuously, then revisited the transit stage every ten minutes and finally watched the egress stages continuously.

However, Ganymede transits in front of Jupiter from 9.16 this evening. I have heard that Ganymede is one of the easier Moons to watch pass in front of Jupiter. Worth a try if the weather holds.
