for those that can view this, number 14 welder's glass makes a cheap filter for viewing. Local welding supply shop should have it. Not sure if you could find a piece big enough for your camera lens though. Wish I could view this, last eclipse I had the chance to observe was in Hawaii in the 90's and it rained the whole time. All the animals were sitting on the porch staying dry, looking at us like we were idiots for standing in the rain. :-)

If you can find a print shop which still has some developed high-contrast graphic arts film you can use that as a filter if it has a density* of at least 3.8-4.0 -- I used some as a filter for shooting the recent Transit of Venus ... to make the filter I clipped the film to an old CD, positioned it so that I could shoot through the hole in the center, and attached it to the lens with some temporary-mounting putty: 
*Film density is measured on a log scale, to a reading of 4 eans it is allowing 1/10,000 (1/10^4) of the light to pass through. |
