What's a 16 stop filter. I just purchased a cheap solar filter sheet and uv filter for a gopro, seems to work okay.

- PhasmaFelis 9y agoI would spend those precious minutes actually looking at the eclipse, not taking photos that are identical to all the other eclipse photos.
- dboreham 9y agoAgree, but since I didn't have a solar ND filter, and they're likely to sell out, I figured may as well get one now.
- taejo 9y ago"16 stops" means a ratio of 2^16, so in this case a 16-stop filter is a filter that allows 1/2^16 = 0.0015% of the light through. This is presumably "neutral density" that blocks all colours of light equally and has no other effect.
