Has anyone here ever used a telescope for daytime photography of anything?

I have a nice little 80mm ED refractor (600mm FL / f/7.5) I often use for night sky astrophotography that I have used once for daytime photography. I know it's tough getting actions shots, but I am wondering what luck anyone else has had if they have used a telescope.

Here is a picture I took when I set my telescope up on my front porch. I aimed it at a Hummingbird feeder about 70 to 80 feet away and waited.
