[AZ-Observing] Re: Capella at noon

I had observed Jupiter and Saturn during the day on the Rim in year 
past. At that time we did not have the benefits of 'parking' scopes, and 
I had to work their position off the Sun. I have read if you are at the 
bottom of a long smoke stack, like the one at Humboldt, you can see 
stars naked eye.
