Image Details:

Daytime Venus and Jupiter. Normally, Jupiter is very difficult to find in the daytime, but being right next to Venus made it very easy. Jupiter looks amazing in the eyepiece. It is a ghostly disk, and you can just about make out some zonal bands during periods of good seeing. (Quarter phase Venus is left, Jupiter is right).
