Hello Everyone,

I attempted another image of the Sun today. I took this in between clouds. I tried locking the mirror up and other small tricks to see if they would help any.

Specs:
Megrez 80 triplet APO
Coronado SM60
Canon 10D

Suggestions for improvement appreciated,

Great shot Tom! It shows lots of nice detail. I think your "tricks" must be working. wink
