Taking pictures of the sun

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-05-11] [Hit: ]
-You can carefully and firmly put the mylar film sheet for safe eclipse solar viewing over the front of the scope.It does not have to be the whole width, but the rest of the openingmust be blocked.Focus the telescope and center the sunspot.Then you may hold the camera behind the eye lens (afocal photography with telescope).You may get fair results.......
I am wondering if there is any possible way to take a decent picture of the sun using mylar eclipse glasses and a point and shoot camera. I can visually see a sunspot but with a crappy (compared to a professional one) camera I know I probably won't be able to get anything decent. Any tips? I have a telescope in my storage but I don't think dinky eclipse glasses would help there.

Just looking for any small tips that might improve my ability to take a picture of the sun. Thanks.

Safer is to look on line at SOHO and NOAA websites.
Almost anytime live TV views through quality amateur telescopes around the world are showing sun, moon, stars and galaxies at http://www.nightskiesnetwork.com There are five going as I type this.

I would recommend taking a picture of the sun at night.

If you can see it visually I say why not just try. No harm in trying lol.
