I was able to catch a sharper image this time around by putting my Canon EF 70-200 mm lens and 2X teleconverter on a Canon 70D "crop sensor" camera, which increased the 400 mm focal length 1.6X to 640 mm effective. I also used a solar filter to cut the sun's radiation enough to be able to focus using 10X magnification in Live View without frying my camera sensor.
I was pleased to see that my camera sensor was able to pick up variations across the surface of the sun.

Nice job Jeff! Sun spot looks pretty sharp too :)
Great
+Tami Mohr-Jones Thanks, unfortunately that sunspot doesn't seem to be associated with a coronal mass ejection which might give us some aurora activity.

Total dream to see something like that someday.
