    #17, Bubba,

    (or destruction of a camera)

    I was planning on using some old 35mms I have gathering dust. But your answer is why I asked.

    I’m not up to spending a lot of money for something of marginal interest. I’ll let those with the equipment and expertise do the photography and I’ll just admire their work.

    Thanks for the reply.

    You can get a filter for a telephoto lens for less than $200. Maybe on e-bay for less than $100 (I haven’t looked). All you need is a tripod and an SLR (so you’re looking thru the filter) and you’re good to go. Also handy for those partial solar eclipses that occur from time to time. It’s great to just hold the filter over an eye to view the partial eclipse.

    For a filter use a piece of square welders glass, at whatever rating is recommended for viewing eclipses and some tape.

    # 11 I would would have thought taking a picture of the sun would have damaged a digital camera unless you were doing something major to reduce brightness.

    @24 deowll, see #17 and #22.
