I haven't taken any special measures to take astrophotos, so this is just a bad freehand snapshot through the eyepiece of my 10cm f/6 Refractor (stopped down to f/10 by cardboard) at 120x, not exactly a solar observatory, and consequently less than stellar quality, pun intended Tongue

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
