"Protecting Your Eyes: Safely Photographing the Next Solar Eclipse"

Just as special glasses are recommended for eye protection, certified filters are available for both cellphone and larger cameras to protect the lenses. It's important to use designated solar filters and to avoid purchasing eclipse glasses from unreliable sources, such as online marketplaces, and instead opt for certified vendors recommended by the American Astronomical Society.

"Mastering Smartphone Photography of Solar Eclipses: Expert Tips and NASA Recommendations"

NASA recommends using special solar filters to protect phone cameras when photographing the solar eclipse, as the phone sensor could be damaged if pointed directly at the Sun, especially when using magnifying lens attachments. During totality, the filters should be removed to view the Sun's outer atmosphere. Solar filters meeting ISO 12312-2 are advised for safe viewing and photography, and Google's Pixel Camera team also suggests packing solar filters for observing and capturing photos of the sun before totality.
