At our clubs solar parties I will most often acquire Venus while everyone else is viewing the sun, and some visitors (probably vidiots), certainly not all, will look in the eyepiece and yell, "come look in THIS telescope, you can actually see the DARK SIDE of the sun". ;) Yup, good times are had by all, huh guys... Quoting Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com>:
The best times are nearest and after greatest eastern elongation. I've seen Venus in the daytime sky many, many, many times over the years. Once you pick it out, you'll wonder why you didn't notice it before.

Incidentally, Venus is visible in the daytime when it's not too close to the sun.
When a favorable alignment occurs in Utah, please post a note. I would like to give it a try. - Canopus56(Kurt)
