G2V Calibration

Hey guys, I have been reading about white balancing, and calibrating exposure ratios using a G2V star, for RGB imaging. I found a few lists naming suitable stars. I have read ALOT of different pages. Our Sun is a G2V star, yes?

Is there any reason why you couldn't use the sun to calibrate? Obviously not using the telescope, so not to start a fire and destroy the camera! But perhaps with a camera lens stopped down to the maximum?

Or am I missing something, and it's this a stupid idea......

Erik
