Want to photograph the sun? Be it a photo of the eclipse or sunspots, you may not know how to best do it. It can be REALLY expensive to photograph the sun using a dedicated hydrogen alpha telescope - so lets use what you currently have with a few inexpensive and affordable accessories to capture some great surface detail on the sun's surface.
Remember, whenever pointing any optics at the sun BE VERY CAREFUL! Permanent eye damage can occur without proper safety filters fitted securely.
