Photography & observing tips

  • Never look at the partially eclipsed Sun without certified solar filters — this applies to cameras and binoculars too.
  • A solar filter over the front of the lens is required for every phase except totality itself.
  • Bracket exposures widely during totality; the corona spans many stops of brightness.
