You probably might need a set of neutral density filters or perhaps a solar filter, as you might damage the camera!
If eta Car goes off it would be over -11 or -12, all tightly concentrated in a near point source, so you might need sunglasses too! Worst still, you might not be able to use a telescope towards it, as it may damage your eyes - permanently! (Remember, the Moon's magnitude is spread over a half-a-degree disk! The supernova focuses like a laser-beam, being 16,000 times brighter than Sirius!)
