I just purchased a solar filter for my FS-102 and thought I would try my hand an afocal image of the sunspots. I attached a red filter to the eyepiece before taking the picture. I was using an Olympus D-460.

BTW, I just returned home from the PSSG which was great. We had 3 days of excellent weather. I got the opportunity to view the Sun in H-Alpha also. It was just amazing seeing those plumes jump out from the disk.
