In the early am hours today (10-14 2:22am to 4:00am), I enjoyed a single Galiean transit of Jupiter by Io as Jupiter was setting. The Oct. S&T at 58 and the RASC Handbook shows a nearly identical Io transit on Oct. 15 (Friday) beginning at 8:48MDT while Jupiter is rising. The events in UT time are: 10-16-2010 02:48 Io Transit Ingress Alt 32 Az 129 10-16-2010 03:26 Io Shadow Ingress 10-16-2010 05:02 Io Transit Egress 10-16-2010 05:04 Io Shadow Egress Alt 45 Az 185 Additionally at 9:57pm MDT, there will be an lunar occultation of star ZC2997 by the Moon. For those of you with video setups, this is an opportunity to attempt to image and plot a lightcurve illustrating a binary with an 0.3 arcsec split.
