It was nice last weekend and I had my FS-102 out with the goto mount. The mount was polar aligned and set up overnight.
In daylight, I was able to see Venus (a tiny sliver) and Jupiter (although the seeing was poor). However, when I pointed it towards Saturn, I was unable to see anything in daylight, although I was able to see the planet at dusk when it was fairly low on the horizon.
I have heard that it is possible to see objects as dim as 2nd magnitude in daylight. Is Saturn just too dim this time of year or would aperture greater than 4" help?
