Default Mars in Daylight

What about viewing the God of War in daylight hours? I tracked the target
well into the wee small hours of daylight
when I was up early but only with binoculars. Has anyone watched it in a
telescope in daytime..much like Venus or Jupiter?

Mars is a simple object during daytime, easier than Jupiter.

Saturn was difficult, although cassini division was clearly visible. Uranus
has always failed to show (for me)...
