Not had a go at Jupiter yet, might try it.
Hunted down Venus some time back. Took me a while but got it. The most interesting thing for me was that after finding it, I could look away for a while and then find it again within seconds using no visual references (moon, roofline/corner of building etc).
It's pretty common for radio-controlled aircraft pilots to spot stars and planets during the day.
As they are following their plane, with eye's pretty closely focused at infinity, they often see stars gently drift past their planes
