Today's Sun Spots.

A rare sight in southern England. 
THE SUN
 
I took this image of the Sun with my little 70mm skywatcher refractor which has a focal length of 500m mm. The camera was a Canon 400d shooting through the scope like a long telephoto lens.
Its nice an quick to set up using just a simple tripod. The filter was diy using Baader AstroSolar safety film.
PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT OR POINT ANY CAMERA AT THE SUN WITHOUT USING  PROPER SOLAR FILTERS OR YOU WILL SEVERELY DAMAGE YOUR EYES IN AN INSTANT.
