Luke, if you have a scope with setting circles and know how to use them safely (or GOTO) - without pointing the scope at the sun - you can find 1st magnitude stars in daylight with a 6" or 8" reflector.
The only way to do this safely IMHO is to set the scope up in the shade, e.g. under a carport, in a garage or in the shadow of a tall building - to protect you from pointing it accidentally at the sun.
