The Sun

Hi all, I purchased an Orion Full Aperture Solar Filter this week and this is my first photo using it. Its a single frame captured with my Long Perng 80mm F/6 Refractor, GSO 2x Barlow Element fitted to the Camera T-Adapter, Canon 1000D DSLR, Remote Shutter Release, GSO Skyview EQ Mount set up as a Heavy Duty AZ Tripod. ISO 200 1/1250 Second Exposure. Processed with Photoshop Elements 8 - Contrast/Brightness, Hue, Saturation, High Pass Filter and Rotated (to match the reference image on NASA's SOHO website).
Regards,
Darren
