I fabricated a camera filter from one of the "shades" and my neutral filter that I use to keep the camera lens free of scratches. From then on, I had to guess the exposure and remember how to run the camera in full manual mode.
Some clouds prevented me from getting a good sequence through the entire eclipse, but I've included the best pictures here. And the exposure details that I used for each.
There will be a total solar eclipse visible in Egypt in August 2027, so I've included the details. But I very much doubt if I will brave the extreme heat of high summer.
