When you stretch the image you can see mag 12-13 stars quite easily. 8 Degrees from the sun WILL be a different story, however, and I think you would loose several magnitudes so I do think it is good enough against SOHO!

Its a brave thing to do!
You'd probably be the first person that i know of attempting comets in daytime! Mind you it's not a silly thing to do.......
It would re-write comet observing/hunting if it came off!

It just adds to my outlook on Astronomy and the Universe itself....that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
