They went to all that trouble and expense and then aimed the camera at
the Sun!?

Well if it isn't the fella who can bully participants into silence but considering he was among the first to withdraw his 'family friendly' website from the newsgroup, just another mediocre celestial sphere enthusiast in a world that has seen many.

Great civilisations incorporate community participation as a function of astronomy going all the way back to the pyramid builders or the neolithic people of Stonehenge and Newgrange. This era with its self-aggrandizement is more an exception having suffocated humanity's first attempt to journey into the new frontier of space. Nothing makes a nation great than to be part of something great instead of being sold slogans and stock phrases.

Everyone dies but only old fools never really live.

Probably just sunlight reflecting from nearby rocks. It is early days, we
should get better pictures soon. (I hope.)

I guess while you're actually bouncing, you get what you get.

A feat, but the images look like they were taken witha Russian Holga camera.

I suppose so. That's why I always use a sturdy tripod.
