Jupsat pro - jupiter observer's software toolkit


jupsat pro - jupiter observer's software toolkit is learn about the solar system's largest planet - jupiter predict great red spot transit times, satellite transits and eclipses and times of mutual satellite phenomena see how jupiter and satellites interact with animations
read the sky & telescope review here features


below this is the side-on view of the jovian system. Below that, to the left is all the numeric data for jupiter and its satellites. To the right is the plan view of the jovian system.

below these is the zoom slider which lets you zoom the side-on and plan views of the jovian system. Just move the slider button left/right to the position you want.
the longitude of jupiter's great red spot (grs) changes over time. Currently, it's at 93 degrees. The textbox in this top pane allows you to update the grs longitude when it changes. Settings (apart from time/date/zoom) are automatically stored so you won't have to keep updating them each time you run the program.
jupsat pro defaults to running in realtime. In order to use particular date and time (other than the current), you need to click the stop button to stop jupsat pro from running in realtime. You can then edit the date and time in the top numeric pane as required.

to switch jupsat pro back into realtime mode, simply click the clock icon. clicking the red circle icon produces a table of grs transit times for the selected month and year. Times listed are in local time.
dates for every day in the month are printed down the left of the diagram. Days are shown against alternate black and dark-grey backgrounds. If the month or year is changed on the main jupsat pro window, the grs transit screen will automatically update with the transit times for the new month.
the data is displayed in four columns: date, satellite, time of phenomena and phenomena description. If the day, month or year is changed on the main jupsat pro window, the phenomena screen will automatically update with the satellite phenomena for the new date.
clicking the paw-prints icon calls up a diagram that displays the satellite tracks diagram for the selected month. The tracks calculations are based on your local time.
if the month or year is changed on the main jupsat pro window, the tracks diagram will automatically update to show the correct tracks for the new date.
when viewing jupiter through binoculars, it is 'the right way up'; i.e. It's orientation is the same in binoculars as it appears in the sky. When looking through an astronomical telescope, however, jupiter is inverted (upside down). Four icons on the toolbar represent the view that jupsat pro is displaying:
the view can be cycled by clicking the currently active icon. view window
