As most safe solar filters reduce the light by about 10000, I would consider using an ND10 filter as extremely risky.

Anyways, that being said, the images are excellent and well done!

I did not look through the ND10 at all - well I did, and it burnt my eyes so I stopped that quickly! My eyes feel a bit funny, probably a mix of barely any sleep and sun exposure :/ Hopefully nothing major to worry about

I'll put the camera through it's paces this afternoon in a variety of settings to make sure nothing has frazzled
