Well done Lindon, it sounds like you had a fabulous night!

The Astronomy Australia 2015 book is available here through the IceInSpace shop. You will love the complete guide for the whole year of all these moon events. It's towards the back of the book.

Some people sketch the moons positions over the course of many nights and find it a thrill plotting their movements. I wouldn't mind giving this a go myself one day actually, sounds like fun.

I took a piccy from my point and shoot camera on a tripod on Jan. 15th and I was so excited to see Callisto snuggled up to Jupiter. None of the other 3 bright moons were visible at that time so I guess they must've been tucked behind the planet. I was pretty excited my little camera snapped it .

The only way I can still remember the moons names is "I eat green cheese"
