Quasar Publishing. I love this book to pieces, it gives a fantastic diary of events in detail for the whole year.

Enjoy. Oh Btw! A great way to remember Jupiter's brightest moons.... I (io) Eat (Europa) Green (Ganymede) Cheese (Callisto).

I have a fond memory around 10 years ago when I caught my first shadow transit and didn't realise it. I was super cranky at the black speck of dirt on my eyepiece ruining my obs. I eventually realised it was a shadow transit

Weather forecast is not favourable for down here for the rest of the week. Doing a run of Jupiter videos atm with reasonable seeing for a change.
Haven't had chance to capture many transit yet the opposition.
