Daylight Jupiter Observation With Unaided EyePosted By Dan D DuBal |
Hi, Darian.
Years ago, at a star party in Wyoming, I was able to "follow" (check back and confirm view from time to time) Jupiter until mid morning - perhaps as late as 10:30am, before deciding I needed more sleep. This was done at high altitude (about 9000 ft.), and under excellent sky transparency, so I'm not sure if that qualifies as "normal daytime brightness." If I recall correctly, the view was *not* easy. Venus was a morning star, too, and was relatively (vs. Jupiter) "easy" to find past noon.
Cheers & best wishes.
