Last saturday afternoon I managed to observe Jupiter in daylight. The sky was blue even if a little damp. I observed Venus first, found with the finderscope shortly after it passed the meridian. So I also wanted to try Jupiter, located higher up and towards the east. It is not visible to the finder during the day so I looked for it by looking directly into the eyepiece. I swept the sky in RA and declination starting from Venus in the direction of Jupiter and suddenly here is it in the eyepiece. It appeared as a yellowish almost white dot. The vision was very sharp: at 95x I could clearly see the bands crossing it and the reddish color of the poles. No visible satellites. With my smartphone I took some single shots, even if the result is much less beautiful than visible with the eyes. I'm sure that even through a smaller telescope it would have been visible, because even Galileo 400 years ago was able to observe it in broad daylight.
