My Canon sun filter got burned by the sun.
I had not tested my Canon sun filter for the Bazooka before the eclipse. I should have. Since it fits at the back of the lens, the sun simply burned through it. I used an old iPhone 6 with a single lens to photograph the eclipse through the eyepiece of my telescope. I didn’t have time to mess with putting a camera on the telescope, plus people wanted to look through the telescope because the clarity was amazing.

Since I had to move the iPhone around on the eyepiece for each photo, the GIF is a bit jumpy.


From the bazooka at ring time


The color of the sun becomes whiter as the eclipse advances because the phone’s camera overexposed the sun because of the dark side of the moon.
