Yes, now is definitely the time to focus on Jupiter. Were you able to catch the the double moon transit last weekend?

We had clear skies for the event on Friday evening. Unfortunately, seeing was only 3 out of 5 and transparency 6 out of 7. So, the transiting moons, Io and Europa, were not visible, but the two shadows were quite clear. Plus we had the bonus of a clearly visible GRS transiting at the same time. Quite a sight.

There is another double moon transit this coming Friday 11th (eastern Australia). No GRS unfortunately.
