The scope doesn't get a whole lot of vitamin D, so I took it out for a quick solar observation today.

There were 4 sunspot groups visible and many smaller evenly distributed freckles marking the surface. The heat of the direct sunlight made the entire image shimmer, which only added to the effect. A small amount of granulation was visible near the edges of the sun.
