This telescope can observe stars, satellites and more during the day. But how?

An innovative telescope design has proven successful for daytime skywatching, opening new doors for uninterrupted observation of the cosmos. 

Astronomers at Macquarie University in Australia have developed a new technique using light filters on the school's multi-lens Huntsman Telescope. Originally designed for ultra-sensitive night sky observations, the telescope has demonstrated an ability to accurately measure stars, satellites and other targets in broad daylight.
