How are they getting the sun and moon so huge?
Light is free… capturing it is not!
DO not worry yourself about focus points - it will happen with you once you have a subject to shoot pics of !!!
=if= your camera eyepiece shows the sun as 'too bright to look at' then go to live-view mode and use the rear screen for composition
However, -if- you are using a camera with EVF, it will regulate the brightness of the sun within the viewfinder and you can use the viewfinder okay. I have done hundreds of big-sun shots over the 15 yrs of using EVF cameras.
The big-sun comes about after you exceed 300mm ... so 500mm to 1000mm of lens will pull in these wacky-beaut sun images
Hope this helps
