Capturing the Eclipse: Phone Photography Tips
University of Colorado astronomer Doug Duncan advises against using your phone's camera to take pictures of an eclipse without proper protection, as the concentrated sunlight can damage the lens. Duncan has developed a product called Solar Snap, which includes a filter that can be attached to a phone's camera to capture eclipse photos safely. He also warns against using eclipse glasses or sunglasses, as they may not provide adequate protection. Fake eclipse glasses are also a concern, as they can pose a risk to eye safety.
