At sundown today their will be a partial solar eclipse and Houston will be
one of the areas where it can best be seen. As a guy with a camera, I almost
feel obligated to try to capture the event. I would be interested in
opinions on how to safely capture it. My initial idea (keeping in mind I
don't want to fry my eye) was to use the 200mm f4 with ISO 200 film and stack
some combination of a graduated ND, Polarizer & ND 4. Plan is to focus on
infinity and then wait for the sun to get where I want it to be and minimize
my looking thru the camera when the sun is actually in the picture. Any
thoughts? Bill Barber
