Jupiter 2 Bug or am I not holding my mouth right?

[sheeny]

Last night while imaging Jupiter, I thought I'd just check which moon was in which position, cause Io and Europa were close together. I thought I'd fire up Jupiter 2 because I haven't really used it in anger but quite a few people swear by it.

The moon positions given by Jupiter 2 didn't match what was in the sky:shrug: . Hmmm, so I dragged out my copy of Astronomy 2006. The graphs on there matched the positions I observed - Io and Europa close together on the eastern side. Jupiter 2 showed Io and Europa on opposite sides?

I made sure Jupiter 2 was in real time mode, and time on my lappy was synchronised less then an hour before the observation and hadn't been turned off since...

Anyone else noticed a similar problem wih Jupiter 2?

If I'm doing something wrong, can you tell me what it is?:shrug:

Did you set your UT time frame +10?

No I didn't....:rolleyes:

How embarrassment!:doh: I was just having a play with it and worked that out, but unfortunately, I'd already posted the question!...umm, I mean I was just testing to see if you were online Paul!:P

Don't forget to "save parameters" so that you don't have to set the timezone each time.
