Thanks for mentioning that this could be seen tonight, i had forgotten i had set an alarm after reading this last week. It has been quite cloudy but through the gaps I managed to see the shadow from 8.40pm, a first for me. I didnt realise how quickly jupiters moons whizz around, but could see the movement of Ganymede which was almost touching jupiter when i first looked.
I have realised to slow down and really see what im looking at, Ive looked at jupiter maybe 10 times but only for a minute or two. Over the last hour I have seen so much more, even through the clouds!
