But on Earth, the real problem is light sccattering off of the atmosphere, and destroying contrast. On the moon, even in full daylight, the airless sky should be pitch black, and provide high contrast. I should think that the Milky Way should be visible, even with the sun in the sky, because there is no way to scatter the sunlight around the sky. Of course, it's a lot easier without the sun, but I think not impossible.
