We have pics of the sun from various distances from the sun using real time capture via various spacecraft. But I do appreciate the effort that A Theist took the time to appreciate and post some pics!
Those pics would be interesting to see. At what distances are they?
Saturn, at least. I interviewed for the position of Cognizant Engineer at JPL for the near field antenna test range for the Cassini Mission, but the Italian Space Agency ended up with the contract for those antennas.
I vaguely remember pics of the sun, possibly through Saturn's rings. I also dimly recall that there were pics from about Jupiter's orbit.

Some pics
I don't seem to be able to find the pics I was thinking of, but the above give some samples.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
