    Indeed, perhaps including lunar distance measurements.

    Frank, you wrote:
    "After I read your message about half an hour ago, I pulled out my
    phone and launched Google Sky Map. Aha, I see that Venus is right next
    to the Moon. I stepped outside but couldn't find the Moon. I pulled
    out the phone again, and aimed it where it told me to, and... aha...
    there's that pale crescent. Then I just shot a bunch of photos."

    I appreciate your attitude to just try something without pondering too
    much on the ifs, pros and cons. Your courage for experimenting
    indicates that it seems indeed possible to use a camera for
    CN-observations during daylight. It would be interesting the result
    one would obtain from such a Moon-Venus or (probably soon) a
    Moon-Jupiter observation during daytime (or twilight) with a
    calibrated camera.
