I wouldn't normally leave it out - but there might be a few occasions - with a solar filter looking at the sun, it's on display somewhere, I've been up till 6 am and can't be bothered .....
I have also on a few occasions done daytime viewing, just for the fun of it - its quite easy to see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, as well as any star brighter than about 1 or 2 mag. Ever seen a binary - alpha Centauri is good - during the day?
I once also took photos of a day-time occultation of Jupiter by the moon.
