    Re: Jupiter in daylight and micrometer test

    We were in southeastern Connecticut Sunday evening.  I went out with a pair of 7X50 binoculars a little after 5 PM and could not see Jupiter, but I blamed it on a layer of thin clouds.  I went out several times more after the clouds were gone, but I could not find Jupiter until 7:18.  The sun was still up, and I was able to see Jupiter without the binoculars, once I knew about where to look.

    Today's a nice day to look for the planet Jupiter in daylight: for observers in the continental US and similar longitudes, anytime after 5pm, go outside with a pair of binoculars or a decent sextant scope and look at the Moon in the east. Jupiter will be to the left of the Moon and a little below, about three degrees away. Now lower the binoculars and see if you can spot it direct! Still can't find it? As soon as the Sun goes down, Jupiter will be obvious, and you'll see it near the Moon all night long tonight.
