A while ago, using my ever ready HR/5 with a good size field, I easily found Jupiter about 2 degrees below the Moon, while still daylight, although the Sun was low. It took a few seconds.
A small disc was seen.
In Kowa 20x50 Jupiter's pale disc was estimated to be about 1.6 degrees from the gibbous Moon's nearest limb.
I did not spot any of Jupiter's moons but the sky was not very transparent.
It was probably visible in much brighter daylight but there was cirrus much of the day and lower cloud.
