Sun Imaging

Howdee folks

Finally got a few days off and some decent weather so thought id crank out the b east and check the sun out. Ive got one of those silver filters that go over the front of the scope. Had it for years and never ever used it.

Anyways - im all set up and taking photos and cant see too much but a white disk (the sun). Are there times where there is no sun spots or prominances. would my exposure time likely be too high.

Im using the nikon d3200 attached to the 10 inch newt.
ive tried isos 400 - 1600 and all manner of exposure times all the way down to 1/3200th and can really not see anything of any interest.
