After a long stretch of lousy weather, I got a great view of the Jovian moons in lousy seeing last night. They were arranged as two tight double "stars", a pair on either side of the planet. Very cool and a good start to spring observing!

Exactly right, but I saw a pair of them look like a double star on a different night about a week ago. If you know, which pair of moons formed the “double star” you saw yesterday?
