Hi,
Please note that you still need to check whether jupiter is visible in Singapore when the transits occur. I'll try to filter out the dates and times in the list when jupiter is not visible later.

Have a nice day.

Hi,
Completed the filtering... it should be quite accurate. But please check again the rise time and set time of jupiter and the rise time of the sun if you are going to observe the jupiter in the early morning... just in case I miss it.

Have a nice day.
