150 minutes before totality - I had thought that the minimum possible exposure might mean I could get away without a solar filter - no way - and as I didn't have one this was my only attempt to photo the sun outside of the eclipse!! Note the tiny f/40 aperure brings everything into focus - including quite a lot of dust on the sensor!!
