[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 3025740, member: 7966"] I'll be shooting two cameras using filters that I made with some film from Germany. I'll have to remove the filters during Totality and put them back on before totality ends. [I][FONT=Georgia]Certainly the most spectacular and awe-inspiring phase of the eclipse is totality. For a few brief minutes or seconds, the Sun’s pearly white corona, red prominences, and chromosphere are visible ([URL='http://www.mreclipse.com/Totality2/TotalityCh01.html'] The Experience of Totality[/URL]). The great challenge is to obtain a set of photographs that captures these fleeting phenomena. The most important point to remember is that during the total phase, all solar filters must be removed. The corona has a surface brightness a million times fainter than the photosphere, so photographs of the corona are made without a filter. Furthermore, it is completely safe to view the totally eclipsed Sun directly with the naked eye.[/FONT][/I] One of the cameras, I will be doing a multiple exposure ... maybe 4 on either side of totality which I will position in the center. I know none of mine will be as good as the NASA scientists and astronomers. I have two friends who are astro photographers and solar photographers. I will share them to my FB page I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
