As the highly anticipated solar eclipse on April 8 approaches, Trish Cerulli, president of the (name of the organization), is offering valuable tips on how to safely view and capture this rare celestial event using a smartphone.
Cerulli emphasizes the importance of using proper equipment, such as solar viewing glasses that are ISO compliant, to protect your eyes while watching the eclipse. These specialized glasses can be easily purchased online or obtained at events like the upcoming CVCC solar eclipse viewing.
For those looking to capture the eclipse with their smartphones, Cerulli advises placing solar glasses or a solar filter over the phone’s camera for safety. She personally experienced the effectiveness of these glasses during a partial eclipse in October.
To prevent damage to the camera optics, it is crucial to avoid pointing your phone directly at the sun without a filter. Alternatively, smartphone photographers can use clip-on filters, tripods for stability, and colladers for unique ground-level shots during the eclipse.
Notably, this eclipse is occurring during an active solar cycle, potentially allowing viewers to witness activity on the sun’s surface in addition to the eclipse itself. As excitement builds for this rare astronomical event, it is essential to prioritize safety while enjoying this spectacular natural phenomenon.
