I just (it is around noon here) saw Mercury, Venus, Mars and Regulus with the ED110. The air was somewhat turbulent, and Mars was very tedious and lost him easily.
Eyepiece: Nagler 13T6 (59x).

Well, Alpha Centauri and Alpha Crucis are easy ones, for you they are 24/7 available, recently I saw both easily with the ED110 in full daylight, incl companion.
