Sun white light May 3

Some nice spots showing again up as the Sun rotates around. And I'm having fun with my super cheap secondhand fleabay Meade refractor. Makes me wonder just how much better the not so cheap ED100 I'm soon getting will be. Atmospherics seem to be the biggest factor. Took a bunch of frames and only 1 stood out as sharp. This is it. Meade SN102 OTA, 1/125 second at ISO 100, Pentax K-x, Orion solar filter.
