Welcome to the list Jeremy, Have you ever observed SIRIUS during the day? I was able to do this a few months back 20 minutes before sunset using a 7x35 scope on a Tamaya Jupiter. The dog days of summer are approaching so you will have to be patient and wait for SIRIUS to be high in the morning sky this fall. A day time all planet fix is another unique observation to get under your celestial belt. Many on this list do lunars and some have even found a way to observe satillites.
