I got this picture, by setting up my spotter scope focused on the sun with the eye piece projecting the reverse image on top of white cardboard.

I looked and looked but didn't see it. My eyes hurt now. Thanks for the pic!

The spot is Venus crossing in front of the sun, next chance 2117.
You also see the shadow of my scope on the paper.

You can do that over an ant hill and it makes for great fun.
