Taken March 28, 2010 in Shalimar, FL with a Meade ETX-90 fitted with a JMB solar flter using a 40mm EP with a light blue filter connected to a Canon G6 digital camera using a Bower adapter.  The photo was enhanced using the basic iPhoto tools on a MacBook Pro.   The exposure was f3 at 1/125 of a second.  The camera had the manual focus set at infinity with the final focus being made with the ETX-90.  This is one of the first astrophotos I took after purchasing the above equipment to increase the capability of my ETX-90 and start solar observations.
