Finding the Planets During the Day using Celestron's SkyAlign
I've been working on some Venus Series stuff so I figured I'd post a technique that I'm using with my Celestron Mount for the daytime observations. Expect some Saturn's Moons, Venus Series videos coming up! And potentially some Solar, Spectral (I know I've been promising that for a while but there's been some progress!), and Motion in Astronomy Videos following after that later this year.
