2. • Zoom in by tapping on the screen to better watch accurately timed Great Red Spot crossings and moon transits and eclipses.

3. The calendar lists all the Jupiter-related happenings for the day: moon eclipses and transits, Great Red Spot transits, and moon-shadow transits.

4. Please note: this application is designed to work in landscape orientation only so that you may view Jupiter, the Great Red Spot, and the Galilean satellites at their best.

Top Pcmac Reviews

  • NOT for iPhone X!

    By gholt00 (Pcmac user)

    I love this app, but I can’t use it now that I have an iPhone X. Until they update this don’t try to use this with an iPhone X — you can’t get back out of it.
  • Date Option

    By Mt. Nipomo Observatory (Pcmac user)

    I've been using the on-line version for years and a bit disappointed we are nickel and dimed into paying for this. One glaring omission is an option to enter another time or date manually, instead of tapping, tapping at minute and hour intervals to get other dates and times.
  • Wide Angle needs to be wider

    By mnew67 (Pcmac user)

    The only knock on this app is that the wide-angle view does not allow sufficient room for Callisto much of the time.
  • useful and easy to use

    By Anthony in SF (Pcmac user)

    This is a simple app that does one thing well: it shows and tells you when Jupiter's four Galilean moons and their shadows will be moving across Jupiter's face, when the moons will be passing behind Jupiter or through Jupiter's shadow, and when the Great Red Spot will be in the middle of Jupiter as seen from Earth, and thus most easily visible through a telescope. I've been using the tables in Sky and Telescope Magazine to plan when to see Galilean moon transits, but this app makes it much easier and quicker -- you don't have to scan through a long table of fine print and mentally translate from Universal Time to your local time zone. It's all right on the screen with a clear diagram of what everything will look like through your telescope, and you can adjust the display to show an inverted or mirror image, to match the view through your instrument. The supplemental information and images of Jupiter and the moons are well chosen and helpful, but the main screen is the reason to get this app. As other reviewers have said, it would be nice to be able to set parameters for alerts, e.g. a shadow transit or occultation between 7 pm and 11 pm local time. Another quibble: this app only displays in landscape mode, which makes sense to get the widest diagram of Jupiter and the moons, but I would like to be able to shift into portrait mode because that's how I hold my ipad when I'm at the telescope.
