Hi all.
Here is the first pic through the scope, its the sun by the way....in between clouds. The raw shots came out purpleish but auto white bal took them to how it looks through the viewfinder (which I thought it should be). Being my first time I made a few discoverys, first my 25mm eyepiece is the only one that will focus...is that normal? second, would the fuzzyness on one side be colmanation?
The scope is gso 10 dob, Andrew's camera adaptor and a D50 (i know its not cannon but its all budget would allow at the time).
Gratefull for any comments (clean one's) and\or tips.
Thanks from Mick.
PS: Happy to email raw or bigger jpg if anyone's interested.

Howdy Mick,

Hope you master Solar shots cause no-one else here seem to be doing it much. Jupiter gets blown full of holes every clear night, but the dear ol sun rises and sets and there are no shots at all.
