Thanks John,
Sony Nex3 - Homemade 3d printed adaptor, 2 black vacuum cleaner tubes (stuck to adapter with gaffer tape - I crossed fingers! Used a 3d printed plate I had made with pinhole 0.6mm stuck at the end held on with hot glue gun - light leaks covered with black tape. According to the calculations pinhole should be about 1.2mm but I only thought about a having a go at 6pm so I used what I had already made and bodged them together.
It worked quite well very hard to actually get the sun in the shot (700mm on aps is really about 1000mm) only had to move it a fraction and the screen was a black and it wobbled like a jelly. The aperture was around F1200 shutter speeds ranged from 1/2000 to 1/30. Shot through the bathroom window, roller blind helped stop me going blind!
Camera on a tripod, vacuum tubes propped up on an old t-shirt left hand help stop the wobble - a bit!
And Bobs your uncle…..
Nice having some detail in the sky and a bit of colour mine were all pitch black (I did get some colourful detraction type images as the sun and moon (and me) moved. I set auto exposure to -2ev which won't have helped - I probably should have changed the exposure a bit but I was excited to get an image appear clearly on my screen....I took this with my digital camera
