    Don’t know if you’re joking, but just to be safe: no need for a filter

    edit: apparently I was wrong

      When shooting still images or video of a solar eclipse, one rule is paramount: special-purpose solar filters must always remain on cameras and telescopes during the partial phases (including the annular phase of an annular eclipse).

      It’s a good way to fry your camera. If you’re taking a single shot, you’re fine. But if you’re recording continuously, you can damage your phone’s sensor.

        Interesting. I could have sworn I read that it’s not required, but I can’t find it any of. I stand corrected.
