We also have zoomable star charts and other flyby graphics on Heavens-Above. Amateur astronomers in India may also be able to photograph Juno after shadow exit. For example, from Bangalore the range will be 9000 km after shadow exit and altitude over 70 degrees. We have assumed an intrinsic magnitude the same as the dragon capsule and this gives an absolute magnitude of 7.3 at shadow exit, but I have no idea how accurate this is. Cape Town is definitely the best location though, with a range of only 1300km at shadow entry. JPL are encouraging amateur observers with the necessary equipment to try and photograph Juno.
