But apart from the "been there done that" aspect of it you will get much better views at night, and finding planets during the day isn't easy. Even if you have a computer star finder, there are no naked-eye objects you can use to align it in the daytime. If you do try it, be very careful that you never accidentally look at the sun through your scope, otherwise that may be the last thing that you EVER look at, for the rest of your life...<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/HR-Outsourcing/Resources.htm"> Rob T</a> You can see Venus easily enough by day with 10×50 binoculars when it is at its brightest, so a 76mm scope should have no problems.

What's wrong with going out at night? You scope isn't very big, and needs all the help it can get.<a href="http://bestluggageshop.com/blog/"> Viola At Neon</a> You can see Venus and Jupiter during the day without too much difficulty, but neither are well-positioned at the moment.
