How to Photograph the Solar Eclipse with your Smartphone

According to Robert J. Novins Planetarium

Steps to Photograph Eclipse:

  • Before pointing your camera at the Sun at any time other than during totality, remember to put a special-purpose solar filter over the camera lens. You can even use solar viewing glasses.

  • Adjust the Exposure. During the partial phases of the solar eclipse, the Sun is intensely bright, so set the exposure as low as you can.

  • During the total phase of the solar eclipse, the light will significantly change and you will need to raise the exposure setting.

    Remove the filter to photograph the total phase.

  • Make sure your camera’s flash is off, is adequately zoomed and in focus, and keep it steady, using a tripod if available.

  • Don’t spend all of totality behind the lens of a camera! Look up and and enjoy the moment! In some locations, totality can last up to 4 minutes.

    The next total solar eclipse visible in the US will be in 2044!
