Mars, Jupiter and even Antares in daytime

[tornado33]

Hi all
Used my Argo Navis to locate these near midday today.
First is Antares, using my modded 350d but with uv/ir filter on
next is Jupiter
next is mars with my unmodded 300D,
last is Antares, through the modded 350d with no filter on (its strong in IR so is brighter.
All are full frame shots through the 10 inch f5.6, guided to the objects by the Argo Navis after aligning off the Sun with solar filter on.

Note, Antares was incredible, so easy to see visually near midday! A scintillating bright yellow dot on a bright blue sky. It was actually easier to see visually then mars.
Note, I didnt do flatfields, and the bright artifacts weer actually things floating last in the air so couldnt be flatfielded out anyway
