First attempt of a pic of the Sun.... :)

I had some issues for some reason getting this the way I wanted it. Normally with shots of the Moon, I shoot everything in manual mode including the focusing since I can get a sharper pic typically than the autofocus can on these types of objects. For some reason, it wouldn't focus manually... so I had to let it autofocus on this shot and because of that, it's a bit of a soft focus...

I've got a month to work on getting these to "take" in a manner I can control better but for now...

At least we can still see the sunspot :)

If your camera has a tripod mount... you can get an inexpensive tripod that would help with that some. I use a tripod on my Moon and Sun shots as well as storm shots with lightning that I take at night... :)

Round 2 - Sun ( with sunspot ) photo shoot...

I'm going to need to make a curtain... or some sort of darkroom thingy to help me while taking Sun pics. For this round, I used my raincoat to drape over me and the camera ( with the lens sticking out of course ) so it shields me from the glare showing around the camera making it tough to use the rear screen to focus with. The importance of using the rear screen is it has the ability to magnify 10x more than the lens is at so I can focus closer and get a sharper pic.

I tweaked the exposure time and the f-stop so the Sun shows a little more orange than the previous pic and has better contrast..

Some fool on FB is trying to tell me the sunspot is Venus... because they've seen shots that actually did have Venus in front of the Sun they are assuming every spot must be... :facepalm:

Just in case they come by here.... here is that spot cropped out so we get a closer view of it...
