[AZ-Observing] Re: Capella at noon

I have to agree with Gene - the surface brightness of
the sky around a star will make it too low of a signal
to noise for the fast optics of the eye to see, even
from the bottom of a well.  What is needed is
magnification to boost the apparent seeing size of the
star to a blob of non zero dimensions.  A telescope is
handy for this...
