With the 42 degC onslaught this week I thought I'd capture an image consistent with the ongoing heatwave.

Sun-spots are obvious on the blemished surface as magnetic disturbances create cold spots and hence the dark visual blotches.

The hardest part about capturing the solar disk is actually getting it in focus. Even using the live-view preview and manual focus, the sun is just so bright it's hard to discern anything on the small screen in the bright sunlight.
