Yes, when you think about it the Moon is not that bright. It is not much brighter than the sky during the day, and it certainly does no harm to look at the daytime sky with a telescope. (And if you are observing the Moon during the day with a scope, a single optimally aligned polariser will boost contrast considerably by cutting down on scattered sunlight more than on direct moonlight. Just rotate EP in focuser to align the polarising angle for max contrast.)
