I watched the sun rise this morning through my 50mm f/9 solar scope (Baader filter). Incredible. I took this photo through the scope with my cell phone camera, hand-held, set on 8X (on top of the 16X of the scope itself), so the resolution, contrast, and focus isn't great, but you can clearly see sunspot groups. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/JethroTull1958/SunspotsSept292011.jp... The largest was easily visible without magnification, through the Badder filter only.
