Shoot video of solar eclipse damage camera?

by CarbonNYC
Question by : Shoot video of solar eclipse damage camera?
As some of you may know, there is a solar eclipse today and I would like to shoot it with my Canon T2i. I am going to use a zoom lens and UV filter. I see people shoot video of the sun all of the time and there is no problems, but some websites say it will damage the camera.

How long can I shoot video of the sun before it will begin to possibly damage the camera?
Edit: And not just taking a picture, shooting a full length video of it.


Best answer:
Answer by jester126It shouldn't damage your camera but I would say once you take the picture take it away from the sun right after.

Has there ever been a lunar eclipse on Dec 21? I am not interested in future eclipses, just past ones.?


Question by kbx1179: Has there ever been a lunar eclipse on Dec 21? I am not interested in future eclipses, just past ones.?
I am particularly interested in total lunar eclipses. I am just curious to know if there has been one on the winter solstice. I know there has to be a way to figure out what dates lunar eclipses have happened instead of just predicting them.


Best answer:
Answer by papasnaps46I don't know, myself, but you can almost certainly find out if you go to the ALPO website. If there's a record of such an occurence, they will have it. ALPO has nothing to do with Dog Food. It's the "Association of Lunar & Planetary Observers".

Can there be a total solar eclipse in Ohio?


Question by freowww: Can there be a total solar eclipse in Ohio?
My dad and I are arguing about this. He says that with the Earth's tilt that we would be able to see a total eclipse, but I thought that you could only see a total eclipse at the equator, or near it.


Best answer:
Answer by cyswxmanYou can see a lunar eclipse anytime the Moon is in the sky (and clouds are not in the way). Thus it depends on what part of the Earth is facing the Moon when the eclipse occurs.

The United Nations and the International Astronomical Union have joined forces to highlight 2009 as the International Year of Astronomy. In fact, this year marks the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first astronomical observation through a telescope.To mark this milestone, more than one hundred nations across the globe are collaborating to make the international community more aware of the universe we live in.A highlight of the International Year Of Astronomy, is the "100 Hours of Astronomy" project planned for early April. The project will feature live web casts, and observing events during its 100-hour long program.One of the key goals of "100 Hours of Astronomy" is to have as many people as possible look through a telescope as Galileo did for the first time 400 years ago. The program will take place from April 2, 2009 through April 5, 2009, when the Moon goes from first quarter to gibbous and provides excellent early evening viewing. Saturn will also be a highlight of early evening observing events during this period.Indeed, there are many exciting events to observe in Astronomy throughout 2009. People in China and India can witness the longest solar eclipse of this century in July. An early evening sighting of Jupiter in October in the Northern Hemisphere should give some spectacular views. Also, the Leonid Meteor Shower in November 2009 is predicted to be one of most vivid ever.2009 will also feature the final mission to repair and upgrade the aging Hubble Telescope. The shuttle mission that will take astronauts to the Hubble is currently scheduled for launch on May 12th. NASA intends to upgrade the Hubble Telescope, so that it will have more capability than ever before. It is a servicing mission with considerable danger to the astronauts, but one that has the potential to provide science and astronomy with dramatic rewards for at least the next five years.A lack of sunspot activity will continue to be of scientific interest during 2009. There were 266 days without a sunspot during 2008. It was a year that featured the second highest number of days with a blank sun since 1900. A lack of sunspot activity was also the trend during 2007.Its the International Year Of Astronomy. So, set up the telescope, adjust the focus and let the observations begin. For those of us that are less hands-on, there is even a blog of professional astronomers to keep us properly informed.
