Look at the distances involved (Jupiter is some 800 billion kilometers from Earth...) and then consider that nothing is staying quiet in the Solar System, but spinning around Sun at veeery high speeds..., and the farther it comes from, the smaller the angular displacement needed to detect it, even if there were no satellites around, or something like good old Hubble...

And then, that ship would need to lower its speed when coming in, or would never be able to enter any decent orbit: that all requires time, doesn´t it?
