First time out solar imaging in white light

[Mandopicker101]

So, feeling like I’m on a roll this week having overhauled my humble Celestron Powerseeker 80 refractor with a new AZ4 mount and tripod not made of wet spaghetti, I decided to try photographing the most obvious celestial target - the Sun.

Even with the most basic of basic kit (whitelight solar filter, smartphone adapter and smartphone) the first shots look fairly decent I think. I’m now wondering how I might float the idea of a Lunt scope to my wife as being in the ‘household essentials’ category…

Excellent image - you have certainly nailed both focus and correct exposure.
