I was seeing how AP would do on Sept 3rd, 2009 at 01:00 (local time),
when all of the moons of Jupiter are either behind it, or in front of
the planet casting a shadow.  Using Sky and Telescopes Jupiter moons
Java program I saw what I expected to find.  I also confirmed this
using Skymap Pro.  However, AP shows Callisto on the side of Jupiter
along with Europa and Ganymede.  Skymap Pro shows Ganymede and Europa
only in front of the planet (confirms S&T's views)

What am I missing??  I have Jacksonville as my site, the date is
9/3/2009 local time is 01:00:47
