Bad idea. Iron kills the sun. It's the reason massive star dies, when the element starts fusing into iron, that's it. Iron absorb energy which basically saps the nuclear power of the star's core and stops the convection pressure, allowing gravity to win over and collapse the star.

also the gravity the sun can produce would suck our little probes in and never let go.

I want to drop some nice info about our closest star so here it comes:
Composition
Spectral lines
Chemistry of stars
Fraunhofer lines
Wavelengths of visible light
And finally high resolution solar spectrum

From what I understand, the fusion reaction fueling the sun converts the (H) and (He) atoms into iron and other heavy elements, which slowly sink to the core and increase the mass of the sun. Once it reaches critical mass and goes into gravitational collapse, it turns into a super nova.

A very long filament hung across the sun's surface for over a week from July 31 to Aug. 6.
Filaments consist of clouds of cooler gas raised above the sun's surface by magnetic forces. Normally they exhibit a great deal of instability and break apart in days or even hours.
