Been curious on this, but what is a safe way to look and photograph an eclipse?

[Allie]

Just google it, there are a few ways to do it safely example pin hole projectors onto white paper or using one eyepiece of a pair of binoculars to project the image onto paper or using special solar filters or welders mask glass - just be very careful not to look directly at the eclipse yourself or with your camera!

I am so excited today, even though we will only get about 84 percent coverage, but it brings back the excitement of the solar eclipse, where I was lucky to get a great photo. Thanks for the graphic as it shows it so well. :)

Thanks for the heads up Rick; like Am, this one slipped under the radar!:)

Here’s my effort. Clouds thwarted our views for the early phase but just before we had to leave home, I grabbed the camera and squeezed off a few frames. Just finished processing one of the better ones.

Taken using a full aperture Baader Astro Solar Film Filter on the front of the 400mm lens which prevents the dangerous visible, IR and UV radiation entering the system.

Cheers

Thumbs up, Dennis. I used the ND 5.00 filter - see post somewhere.
