Not bad. Good. I like it.
But I depend If it wouldn't beyond the light rolling pin was better.

Nice image, and nice reminder that our own sun is an astronomical object, too. I wonder: Is it ever possible to see sunspots in low-horizon images like this? I wouldn't point my 35mm SLR at the sun high in the sky, but, just for novelty's sake, a red-sun -on-the-horizon image with sunspots visible would be a different touch..

Thanks for the image

I'll say it is! The SOHO image that is my avatar reminds me just what a gaseous inferno of an astronomical object the Sun is. (I'm partial to Sun photos, so the more the merrier.)

Cool photo, Mohammad. When the picture started to download, I thought I was going to see a huge dragonfly, but it became a lightpost.
The sun looks magnficent. Where were you in your car? I mean, what country are you located in, if I may ask?

Thanks.

Edit: Scratch the question. I see in your moon photo that you're in Tehran. :-)

Cool pic man! And nice cam equipment.. i got the same

you (those with clear skies) could see the Venus transit without optical aid.

I think Newton and Galileo both looked at the sun for sunspots.
