You will have to excuse my ignorance as a complete amateur. I am
intrigued by an object that can be seen quite clearly in the daytime. I
am situated at High Onn, Staffs and the object is approx 70 degrees
azimuth, bearing 200 degrees. Can anyone tell me what it is.
Thank you.


Need more information.

What time was it? Preferably UT so we don't have to muck with time
zones.

Was the object moving, and if so, what direction and how fast?

But, I'm going to make a bet that it was Venus. It is very bright
right now and if one manages to look in the right direction it
is easily visible in the daytime.

I once viewed Saturn through my scope at 11 am!!!
