Imaging the sun with iPhone

[cutepetgroomer]

Today I tried our my new cell phone mount for my telescope. I imaged the sun using my Meade eclipseview 114 Dobsonian tabletop telescope.it came with a solar filter and had aperture I wanted within a set price husband set for me for all the Astro related stuff I wanted .. so please tell me how I can improve upon imaging the sun or what other filters I can try..

That is about the most that you can extract in terms of an image with your current equipment. I think it is a very good picture, nice and sharp and looks in focus. 

The big problem is that the sun is a bit boring now and just an orange ball! Pictures will look more exciting when there are some sun spots.

Filters probably wont make a significant difference.

There is a nice sunspot ATM and there is a small darker patch on your image which may possibly be it.

Repost in the solar imaging section for more advice.

I hope you are filtering the sun at the objective end of the telescope and not with a filter at the camera end as focused sunlight heat can crack those smaller filters.
