I have wanted to get into solar imaging for years, but never got to it until Monday. I used an Orion 4" solar film filter modified by me to fit an 80mm short tube from Explore Scientific, mounted on my trusty Canon 60Da and Atlas EQ-G mount. The full disk is just before the eclipse and the crescent is at max occultation here in Salado. I was amazed to find that I caught the surface granules and can faintly see the prominences erupting from the limb using such a primitive solar imaging setup.
