Frank, you wrote: "After I read your message about half an hour ago, I pulled out my phone and launched Google Sky Map. Aha, I see that Venus is right next to the Moon. I stepped outside but couldn't find the Moon. I pulled out the phone again, and aimed it where it told me to, and... aha... there's that pale crescent. Then I just shot a bunch of photos." I appreciate your attitude to just try something without pondering too much on the ifs, pros and cons. Your courage for experimenting indicates that it seems indeed possible to use a camera for CN-observations during daylight. It would be interesting the result one would obtain from such a Moon-Venus or (probably soon) a Moon-Jupiter observation during daytime (or twilight) with a calibrated camera. Marcel
