So today I was able to test out my homemade solar lens filter. I got very lucky and was able to get some photo quality solar sheets from a telescope manufacturer in Illinois called Astro-Physics. I followed and modified some instructions I found here.
I took some test photos, just to make sure it works and see what kind of pictures I can expect to get.
I am going to try to build a second one for my 28-135mm lens and maybe one for the GoPro and see if I can take a timelapse video.
Pretty excited to see it even though it will only be about 66% here in Southern California.
