My First Image of the Sun

This is the first attempt of the Sun with my Baader Solar filter for my NexStar 114GT. The image was taken using my handheld 4330 Camera with camera mount that i bought about 2 hours prior. This means I had to rush home (in rush hour) read the instructions on how to use the darn bracket, and go out and setup.

This image of the Sun shows 3 main sunspots, and has not been edited with Photoshop. The Sunspots are fairly spread out over the Sun's surface.
