I prefer non coloured sun but I gave it a try. Managed to get detail in the surface. Pretty happy with that

That's impressive. How is the sun shot done? And why do you prefer a non-colored version?

Thanks Chris.
Just bought a Skywatcher ED80 telescope. Tax man gift to me ;)
These are just using the telescope as a prime 600mm
Sun taken with Baader solar film filter at 1/32000 ISO 100
Light from the sun is white as in the last comparison shot
