Observe Jupiter, Family and Friends

From the IOTA Listserver- sounds like something fun to see.

LL



To ALL WORLDWIDE Observers:

Thought I'd bring your attention to Jupiter and its moons in relation to three fairly bright stars in the next few days. I used Guide 7 to "follow" the relationship of Jupiter and 6.6-mag. (Spectral Class F5) star SAO 158577, 7.1-mag. GSC 5575 876, and 8.8-mag (Spectral Class K2) SAO 158576. Please note that Jupiter and its moons will be seen to pass BETWEEN GSC 5575 876 and SAO 158576.

This should be interesting to watch from now through July 3 UTC.
