Description

Decided I would try to manually find Jupiter in broad daylight on May 16th. After focusing on some distant hills, I pointed the telescope up without paying attention to the altitude or looking through the eyepiece while pointing it. When I locked the mount and looked through the eyepiece, I saw it. Luckiest day of my life.

Europa and it's shadow are transiting and Io is protruding of the limb of Jupiter.
