| Impressive. Hmmm. ... A three inch magnifier conentrates the rays of sunlight enough to start fires. A five inch telescope aimed right at the sun must have some pretty interesting approaches to avoid frying the detector, not to mention dealing with the exposure issues. I'll admit that I've never been able to shoot directly into the sun without blowing the highlights. Thanks for posting the link. |
