This week will be the best nights to see Jupiter in the southern sky.
Tonight was probably the best. I could see Jupiter, its stripes and 4 of its moons very clearly. Just amazing to see it with your own equipment just like Newton did.
I believe this week you will be able to see the same with a 20x binoc set or a hunting scope. Just FYI.
11:30, jupiter was about 35 degrees above the horizon, about 10 degrees east of due south. It is the brightest thing in that area. Really easy to see.
