Jupiter + Callisto

It appears that we are going to have clear skies tonight. As soon as sunset occurs, I hope to point my 6.2 inch apo at the planet Jupiter. As keen observers of Jupiter may know, the moon Callisto has not been transiting the planet over the last 6 months. This Thursday night, it passes very close to the north pole of Jupiter. It should be quite a spectacular sight! Let's give it a try.
I think Callisto orbits Jupiter every 16 days. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think its going to miss it tonight Aubery by a very short distance, will it transit in the near future?

Sorry, Dave and Michael, I just do not know -maybe next autumn.

We've got beautiful clear skies in Dublin with lovely Jupiter over in the western sky. Valerie and I only looked at Jupiter tonight -but what a treat! With my 6.2" apo at 40X we could only see Europa, Io and Ganymede. So I increased to 112X, we could see Callisto very close to the north pole of the planet in the 1 o'clock position. It was too windy to use higher magnification. But very nice indeed. Did anyone else get a view? We were observing from 9.30 to 10 pm.
