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.
