first afocal Sun shots - white light

[Andrew*]

just using a solar filter on the 50mm lens cover opening:

the details:

aperture f/8

exposure 1/800

ISO 400 (oops, should have used lower)

manual focus at infinity

Very nice, you've caught a couple of sun spots as well.

[Andrew*]

Thanks Gaz. Yeah, the spots that CC captured so well are just on their way around the corner...

much higher exposure with this one. I like it because it gives the shimmering surface effect you see through the EP and hints of the corona. Also focus is a little better.

the details:

aperture f/4

exposure 1/60

ISO 100 (I don't remember changing ISO setting!)

manual focus at infinity

Nice. It's great fun solar imaging because it's loads quicker.
