Hey guys, in preparation for the Venus transit next week I thought I'd build a solar filter. I didn't collimate the scope unfortunately as I was just trying things out, but I snapped this image of the face of the sun. Also attached is a closeup of one of the sunspot regions. All in all, pretty addictive! Looking forward to the transit next week.
