i was just wondering how to take a picture like this, and yes im refering to the sun, however i know it was shot with a d80, thats about it

Uh... it's just the sun. Star + Polarizer (+ maybe ND) filters on a super-wide angle lens. Siiiiiimple.

no UV filter?

Probably not a star filter, probably just small aperture.

What a shame to shoot with a white/grey nikkor.

Also a possibility. But there are lots of "natural-looking" star filters with multiple points like that.

does a small aperture ever give a result like this? i've never seen one

Small aperture might do it. Depends on the lens too, my 60mm makes a very even starburst off of lamps at night with long exposures, different from my other lenses.

Pic related. I'm sure it's similar with the sun, if you get the exposure right.

that's more than super-wide-angle, it's a fisheye

Why would you want to copy an image like this?
It looks like total shit...

The exposure looks like basic daylight exposure, so start off at f16, 1/125. The sun is getting a lot of points, so stop down to f22. Since you just lost a stop of light, then increase your shutter to let in a stop of light to 1/60. So you are finally at f22, 1/60.

The lush blue of the sky looks a lot like a circular polariser, so if you use that, you'll typically lose two stops of light. Adjust accordingly.
