Re: Observing Jupiter
Start observing/imaging Jupiter as soon as possible after sunset today (e.g. 7:30pm). You may catch the rare DOUBLE shadow transits! Till about 8:20pm.

The last double shadow transit visible from Singapore was back in Oct last year. The next one is on 20 May 2014. By then, Jupiter will be setting in the early evening.
Good luck! Clear Skies!
