Took these two pictures of the sun and it's spot earlier today, not bad for a first go with my telescope :)

Thanks, I have a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ, have it a few months now. Hoping to get something a bit bigger in the next few months.

Cool pic. Here's an image from the SOHO spacecraft observing the Sun today:

You can see the sunpot you captured on it!
