First solar viewing

[mattjanes100]

Afternoon everyone. Newcomer to the forum and this is my first post, from my first time viewing the sun.

This image was shot with my Google Pixel 2XL phone, through a 150mm reflector telescope and 32mm plossl eyepiece with deep yellow filter.

Looking forward to catching some spots!

Hi Matt and welcome to SGL, I assume you're using a Baader solar film filter or some other form of energy rejection filter ?

There is a solar imaging part to post images in.

Thanks Dave. Yes, using an appropriate filter for viewing.

Will post images to the correct section next time!

Nice pic Matt. Shame the sun is so quiet currently.

What are you using for filtering, Baader solar film?

I'll move this to the imaging section

[mattjanes100]

Thanks Stu. I'm using a Bresser branded filter which I believe uses SolarLite film rather then Baader.
