Reply To: Taking Pictures of the sun

So IcheSrulik and HaLeiVi does that mean that according to the Rambam it’s only referring to their avoda zaras, and not the actual sun moon and stars?

btw Wolf and Zach your pictures are awesome! They’re the reason for my question… You can take gorgeous pictures with the sun, but if doing so is an offshoot of avoda zara… then that’s slightly a problem! I’m considering selling some of my pictures and some sun ones are really nice… it would be so sad to have give em up.

But I think I got from here that it really is a problem? It’s too bad… especially considering that if it is avoda zara then I’ve been doing it all these years! Yikes!!
