there is more than one source saying it is difficult to locate Venus during daytime..


It was very faint and difficult


blogs.discovermagazine.com...


although it can be difficult


science.nasa.gov...

not impossible but difficult

imagine a faint dwarf star still far away..

no im not wrong here sry to burst your bubble

you cant contradict me here

Venus is very faint and difficult to locate with a telescope during daytime...;

i than think that a fainter and far more distant object such as planet X would be an impossible task for an amateur astronomer

Although any telescope (or steadily-held binoculars) will allow the phases of Venus to be seen, the planet is a notoriously difficult one to observe, for three main reasons. Firstly, whenever the planet is visible (shortly before sunrise or after sunset) it is positioned at a low altitude (angle above the horizon) where it is immersed in haze and atmospheric turbulence, which adversely affects the quality of the image seen in the telescope. Consequently most telescopic observers prefer to view the planet in full daylight - when its altitude is much higher - taking special care to shield the Sun from view. Secondly, the planet's brilliance - although making it a very obvious and beautiful object to the naked-eye - causes a menacing glare when seen through a telescope. Thirdly, the planet itself is permanently cloaked in thick cloud, so its surface features are never visible through telescopes. Most amateur astronomers can therefore only expect to observe its characteristic phase changes, but little else. Experienced observers using medium and larger-sized telescopes often observe detail in its cloud features by attaching ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR) or colour filters to the telescope eyepiece. In the latter category, yellow, blue and violet filters help to reduce the glare of the planet and improve the contrast of its cloud features whilst orange and red filters help to reduce the brightness of the sky during daylight observations. Even when using large telescopes, observers often report that Venus does not take high magnification well; magnifications over 300x are rarely beneficial, the image succumbing to the effects of low contrast and atmospheric turbulence.


as you can see i did some research...i did a lot actually..and as stated in here it is very very difficult to see Venus..imagine a dwarf star not emitting too much light and still very distant from us..please take a while to read what i posted before flaming..

...No, it isn't.

Venus is easily visible with the right equipment, and at least one person said he could see it until almost noon. I'd also think they'd use appropriate filters.

Not that glare shield you posted.

Do you just filter out the things that tear your arguments to shreds?


so your source is one person here who saw it till noon...

and my source was from :

Sources
"British Astronomical Association Observing Guide" (BAA, Piccadilly, London, 1995).
"Norton's 2000.0" edited by Ian Ridpath (Longman Group UK Ltd., Harlow, 1989).
"Celestron 8 Instruction Manual" (Celestron International, Torrance, CA, 1994).

dude..get a job

I though Nibiru was only visible from the South Pole?

Or through webcams. Apparently

Says the guy who admits that he has no clue what he's talking about and who apparently thinks brown dwarfs can go completely undetected, even though they'd # our solar system up beyond recognition and beyond repair.

Okay.

I personally find it very ironic that you linked to Bad Astronomy, too, but that's just me.

me only...but its just a thought dont flame or jump like a bunch of wolves
