SX530 HS For Solar Eclipse

I just posted a little announcement in the DIY forum on use of a Canon PowerShot SX530 HS for photographing the Sun (and the upcoming eclipse):

The whole thing is explained in my instructable .

This is really a great way to safely make decent photos of the eclipse at a total cost under $250, including purchasing an SX530 HS (assuming you don't already have one). Not many 1200mm lenses available at that kind of pricing....
