I have all 3 of the T4's but I've never tried them in the daytime because I don't own a refractor, other than finderscopes, binoculars and rifle scopes.

I am only repeating what Al Nagler told me in about 2007, when I asked him some questions about them. I was only drinking coffee at the time so pretty sure I interpreted him correctly.

Cheers
