• The Satellite Tracks diagrams can now be printed out
• The Great Red Spot Transit times can now be printed out
• Displays side-on and plan views of Jovian system
• The display can be changed to support the view as seen through different optical configurations
• The position of the Great Red Spot is shown for the selected time and date
• Shadows of the satellites are displayed crossing Jupiter's disk
• The displays can be animated to show the movement of the satellites, their shadows and the Great Red Spot
• The displays can be zoomed so as to see satellite phenomena in greater detail
• Times of Great Red Spot transits are calculated for the selected month
• A diagram of the satellite tracks for the selected month can be viewed
• Times of satellite phenomena (Transits, occultations, etc.) are calculted for the selected date
• Compass directions show the orientation of Jupiter and its satellites depending on what hemisphere you live in and what optical configuration you have selected
• View rotating maps of each of the four satellites
• Displays the Rise, Transit and Set times of Jupiter for your location so you can make the most of your observing opportunities
• Displays the position of Jupiter (in RA/Dec and Alt/Az) along with its magnitude and distance amongst other data
• Numeric distances (in Jupiter radii) for each of the satellites are displayed
• Data for satellites that are transiting or being occulted by Jupiter are displayed in different colours for easy identification
