Malcolm Neal took this picture of the sun through hazy cloud on the morning of the 16th November 2010. Sunspot group 1124 is visible in the one o'clock position while group 1126 can just be seen near the six o'clock position. He used a Canon EOS 50D camera with a 500mm lens plus a 1.4 multiplier and then multiplied by 1.6 for the CCD size etc ending up around 1090mm focal length. The exposure was 1/4000th of a second at f/9 and ISO 100. Malcolm did not need to use any filters on account of the thick haze that morning. Image Credit: Malcolm Neal.
