Thanks for all the replies.
Wow, I'm surprised that mercury could be seen through a scope in daylight. Is the detail of the gas giants lost with daylight viewing?
Didn't some poet talk about the veil of night falling over the earth. To me its the opposite - the veil of daylight preventing us from seeing the stars. But now I cant wait to see if I can see Jupiter during the day. I must admit, I think a thin crescent of the moon in daylight is more beautiful than at night.
