Astroimages with the Sun above the horizon

Updated 7/16/16

 Here you will find a set of images of some familiar objects normally seen only in the night sky, taken in broad daylight with the disk of the sun far above the horizon. It is possible, with setting circles to line up on an easily seen daytime subject such as the sun or moon, then offset to other more challenging objects. Lets see where we head with this new sub section! ...............June 27th, 2007
