Does anyone have the capability of simulating the view of Jupiter from Galileo on October 9, 1997 at about 12:30 UT and on October 10, 1997 at about 4:00 UT with a view wide enough to show where hte moons are? Solar System simulator no longer seems to have Galileo, and the only simulation ability I have does not include the moons.
Thanks in advance, Ted -------------------- |

And here's the view using Starry Night Pro (I turned on the equatorial grid on Jupiter so you could see it, otherwise, you wouldn't):
Seems to be pretty much in agreement with djellison's. - John Sheff Cambridge, MA
