"People often ask what can be seen through a telescope during the day. With a proper solar filter, sunspots on the face of the Sun can be observed. If the Moon is visible, craters can be explored. A handful of bright stars can be located with computerized telescopes.
But what can a camera attached to a telescope see during the day?
In late June 2006, Rock Mallin captured M57, the Ring Nebula, more than two hours before sunset from his observatory in Ottawa, Ontario. Using his MallinCam Hyper Color Video CCD camera and a 16-inch Meade SCT, Rock took 100 images and processed them afterwards with RegiStax." Todd Carlson
