No, not my cell phone. It's a Canon 60D & Canon 100-400L lens with a Hoya ND10000 solar filter.

The reason that I mentioned my cell phone is because I never use my camera any more because cell phones are so good, and most of my photography is a quick shot of the grandkids or something like that. I love photography, but don't make the time to do it.

I would love to capture surface granularity. Now I need a 2x teleconverter!

When we moved to this location with fairly dark skies, I bought a solar filter for my telescope. Like a dolt, I've never taken it for a ride. I've got some nice Televue EP. I'd love to do some solar viewing.
