  • @esoastronomy@mastodon.social @astro_jcm@mastodon.online Thanks for covering this and mention the importance of viewing the eclipse only w/ proper filter glasses. That said, a lot of people try to photograph solar eclipses without being aware of the problems that come with that, incl. misconceptions about ND filters and in turn destroying their gear or, in case of optical viewfinders, even damaging their eyes as well. I posted something short and incomplete. ESO could cover that more comprehensively. https://mastodon.social/@RecoveredExpert/117075037983934424
