First solar shot for ages!! 6 April 2015

[Helen]

I think this is my first proper solar shot of the year!  

Taken with Lunt 50 double-stacked on a Megrez 72 scope, with a celestron Skyris 274 mono

I need to locate the dust bunny! and/or learn how to take solar flats!

Nice one, I have same CCD and just started doing flats. Aim at centre of Sun, defocus and whilst doing the run, tap the scope repeatedly to blur any half focused sun bits
