Shot this using my Meade NGC-60 to project the image onto a foam board that has imbedded grid lines.  Flattening of the solar disk is due to deviation from perpendicular between projection, camera and optical planes.  Used my Kodak Z612 digital camera on a tripod manually set at ISO80, f/5.6 and 1/200 sec.
