For all you photogs who are hoping to catch some corona (not the liquid kind...) here is a great video which has good info and a follow up video (haven't got to that yet).

 

I am hoping for some good weather over Columbia Missouri! Got a prime spot thanks to a fellow WTW'er who has kindly offered refuge from the multitudes who will also be looking for some corona Get to play with puppies too!

Any advice for stacking filters for those who waited too long to buy a legit eclipse filter? ... besides "Don't".

 

I'm thinking a Lee Big blocker (10 stop) stacked along with a ND 16 or 32 might be safe and interesting.

Bombsight,

 

I think stacking to get to an ND16 which I believe is the safe # is probably okay but because you will not be removing UV and IR wavelengths I would suggest using live view only and limiting your exposure to a few minutes as damage might be done to your sensor over a longer period. This is if you are using a very long lens. Wider angle not as dangerous.

 

#14 welders glass is supposed to block IR and UV because some welding materials give off those wavelengths.

 

This is conjecture on my part based on what I have read. YMMV

 

Good luck!

Thanks Happjax. I had read something similar but you made it simple. Question is now, how long of an exposure is needed.

Anyone else try?
