How would members of the forum do a time-lapse of the August 21 eclipse? Aside from the usual precautions of not looking into the viewfinder to avoid solar damage to the retina (macula), I am interested in how to set up the shoot. I plan on using the maximum filtering I have (polarizing filter stacked on top of 6x ND filter), setting focus at infinity (distant object first), and manual metering (or should I use Aperture preferred). Advise f/stop (high or low), and shutter speed.
