Mutual phenomena of Galilean satellites were observed from June to December 1985 at Serra La Nave, the stellar station of the Catania Astrophysical Observatory. The measurements were taken at the Cassegrain focus of the 91-cm reflector equipped with a photon counting system and a V Schott filter. A total of 37 events were observed and 22 of these were of special qualitity with a resolution good enough to improve satellite orbits. From a preliminary analysis and a comparison with predicted values, the observed light losses and contact times do not show relevant regular deviations from the predicted ones.
