Hi All,

Jupiter's Moons to disappear tonight, all 4 will be gone for a couple of hours, and it won't happen again for many years. Sept2 - the 3rd start watching before midnight and watch the moons cast shadow transits and get occulted.

Here is my shot of the moons lined up last night...now watch all 4 disappear tonight. DMK 21AF04 at prime focus of 10" SCT.

Here is a link to the animation of what you will see tonight.
