I'll just be using my Fuji Finepix S4000 on full 30x zoom with a bit of yellow light solar film blutacked to the lense. I'm on a tight budget so anything fancier is out of reached for me.

It worked beautifully for the Venus transit and I'm hoping it will come out just as well for this eclipse. I'm in Gippsland so the eclipse will be partial only, but I'm still almost jumping out of my skin with excitement about it!

I also have some white light mylar solar film that was a fail with the Venus transit as the brightness obscured Venus. But I'm hoping it will be a good tool for the solar eclipse.
