Naked eye or through a telescope?



Naked eye. Through a telescope it really is easy, and you can see
dozens of stars in the daytime, not just Sirius.


Can you see Mercury naked-eye in daytime too? After all, Mercury can
shine brighter than Saturn.

Canopus and Alfa Centauri ought be possible to see in daytime too.
Perhaps even Arcturus and Vega. If you can see Saturn...


Best thing is for you to give some of those objects a try, but Canopus and Rigil Kentaurus will very difficult from Stockholm.

Some other ideas....
