What was the software used to emulate the moons' transits?

Hi John, the software used on screen was 'Starry NIght Pro' which I find to be very accurate for showing such events and  it looks good too. It is a commercial software and cost around £80.

Another piece of software is Winjupos, I believe it is also free to use.

This is very accurate and covers the planets and their moons.
