Big night for Jovian followers

All times in AEST.

Tonight's looking good for followers of Big Jove, with the GRS rising at around 10pm, where Jupiter will still be low but worth a look. Io will be egressing the disc of Jupiter at around 10:30pm.

The action heats up for the next few hours, where GRS transits the CM at approximately midnight, while Ganymede's shadow follows a short time behind.

Red Jr will transit the CM about 45 minutes after the GRS.

Ganymede will skim the edge of big Jove from around 2am - 3am, and should make a very interesting sight.

Callisto will be passing to the South underneath around about 3am.

So, lots of moon action, lots of red spot action! Shame the jetstream looks so bad for me, but I hope someone gets some great views and images!
