My First Picture - The Sun

Hi all,
After a week with the telescope I have my first picture. The sun at prime focus though some light clouds with Baader ND5.0 filter. A couple of small sunspots and that's about it. I was tweaking it a bit with Photoshop but quite after a few minutes as I seemed to be making it worse

I also mucked around with some filters, eyepiece projection, and the ND3.8 photo film but nothing really any better than this.

The eyepiece projection is doing my head in. So far the only eyepiece I have that seems to work is my 32mm one. I will keep toiling away wit it and hopefully figure out some tricks to get some of the others working.

I took a movie of Saturn last night that turned out to be a washed out white blob for 3 minutes.

Cheers
Mick
