A quick calculation: Diameter of the Sun: 1 million miles 100 AU's: 93 million miles * 100 = 9300 million miles Angular size of the sun as viewed from 100 AU's: 1/9300 = arctan (x), so x = about 22 seconds of arc. Just 2/3 the size of what that bright dot Jupiter looks like to us! And I suppose the Sun would appear 1/100^2, or one ten thousanth as bright? Hope all that is right!
