I took some images of Tuesday's transit, could some please advise the
following, on the right handside of the images is what appears to be some
form of 'disturbance on the sun, shows as a fussy mark, as the image was
taken with my digital camera mounted on the telescope WITH sun filter in
place, is this mark actually on the sun or possibly from the camera's
ccd, I
checked the filter and that is clean (as well as brand new)
Its my first solar image so not sure, hence my query, any guidance very
much
appreciated.

Richard's image can be found he
