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

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 . 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?

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