Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

No, but once I was amazed when I first saw them with a pair of binoculars. Jupiter was bright and directly overhead late one night, and I could see 4 dots of light out to the sides. Couple nights later the moons were in different positions. Very cool.

You can try this program:

It's from "Celestial Basic: Astronomy on your Computer"
