Jupiter CM & Moon Simulators

Hi everyone,

Just wondering where on the net I can download a Jupiter Central Meridian simulator? Would like something that I can download so I dont have to be hooked up on the net to calculate the CM of Jupiter at different times/dates.

As well, does anyone know where the best simulator for re-creating the appearance of Jupiter's moons is in terms of the features on these moons so as to allow a diect visual comparison with images that earth based amateurs take?

Hope you can help!

John.

Have you tried Jupiter 2 John for you Central Meridian simulator. It's my favourite Jupiter program for tracking moon events, GRS transits as well as ephemerid information.

For the moons you might try Celestia, but I don't know how accurate it is in regard to planetary satellite features.
