Default Jupiter moons tracker

I lost a laptop computer three years ago in Hurricane Katrina. On it was an application I downloaded from -- as I recall -- a site in Great Britain. The application showed the moons of Jupiter and the Great Red Spot and would print out a list of occultations and moon transits for the next 30-60 days as well as showing real time position of the Galilean moons.

I can't find that application no matter how I search Google.

Does this sound familiar to anyone and can you point me to the download site?

Thanks.

Is it possible you're looking for this?

I used it for a while, then decided it was more convenient to have all
of that in one place.

Thanks for the replies and the assistance.

The two links provided were not the application I used previously but
they do the same thing.

For some reason -- maybe it's due to long-term consumption of Wild
Turkey Private Stock -- I enjoy watching shadow transits of the
Galilean moons and I had no way of predicting them

Thanks again.

I like, but doesn't have names for the moons. Also being out in a field, in
the middle of nowhere. The internet has a hard time to reach...

If you click on the "List Events" button, you will see the names of the
Moons corresponding to the numbers. Also, you can install it on your own
computer so that you don't need the internet. For instructions, look near
the bottom of: http://www.ncsm.city.nagoya.jp/astro...jupmanual.html
