After much stressing finally got my first image of the sun ready for the transit...
yes i am a noob but i worked it out with an inspirational spark of clarity from jjj...
using and iOptron 80mm short tube refractor, baader solar filter, cardboard, 0.5x focal reducer and my SPC900 webcam...all on a EQ6 mount.
It looks like you might have a dust bunny at some point in your imaging path. I will be taking photos using the A-focal method and sometimes have the same problem. Got to try and get rid of it.
