Tom,

I used Starry Night Pro Plus version 6.2.3

I have found the shadow events for jupiter to be right on and I am hoping
the Saturn events are just as accurate.

Tony,

I am very interested in imaging Titan's shadow transits.  I put together a
similar table as yours a few months back, and the times match up for the
most part.  I used the excellent WinJupos freeware for calculating the
times.  What was the software or Web site that you used?  Here's my summary
on Cloudynights.

By the way, the seeing forecast for this morning on the Clear Sky Clock site
showed "5 out of 5", but it was between 3 and 4 in my back yard.  The CSC
forecasts are able to predict poor seeing (when you're below a turbulent
upper atmosphere), but can't capture local effects.  I have seen 5/5 seeing
in my back yard at times, by the way.

Tom
