At the time of this photo I had access to the 10″ telescope at Observatorielunden in Stockholm thanks to my employer. This day I had decided to try to photograph the sun for the first time. The sun-filter was a regular blocking filter for white light mounted on the main SCT tube. The DSLR used was a borrow from my employer.
