I’m preparing for the total solar eclipse next week as my parents live smack dab in the middle of the path of totality. Weather permitting, I want to take a bunch of photos of the event, so I need a solar filter for my camera.

The universal ones that slide on to the end of your lens have become hard to source as I’ve waited too long and my lens size is apparently very popular. I also want a little nicer solution than just sliding a big thing on the camera and trying to not let it fall off.

So I purchased a Celestron eclipse viewing and imaging kit that includes a little card that you can hold in front of your camera or smartphone. This thing is also very clunky.

However, the curve around the bottom is perfectly sized to 77mm. So I also purchased an empty 72mm to 77mm step-up ring that will screw onto my lens.

Then, I trimmed the excess cardboard from the filter card so it fit perfectly into the ring.

It held pretty securely on its own, but I secured it with a judicious application of gaffer tape. Now I have a “permanent” solar filter that won’t fall off.

    We got a new kitten the other week. He's currently in training for a personal assistant role, and I must say, he's doing quite well. Meet Daniel Tiger.

    Widespread iPhone 15 overheating reports, with temperatures as high as 116F https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/26/iphone-15-overheating/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

    @9to5Mac My 15 Pro got pretty warm while I first set it up and it ran through the restore process. Since then, it's never been noticeably warmer than my 14 Pro was. Even my 14 Pro would sometimes get warm during things like gaming. I'd imagine that my 15 might get warmer during processor-intensive tasks though because titanium is a better heat conductor than stainless steel.

    Comment below with your score. Remember, it's one point for each thing that you have NOT done on this list. Tell us which of the things you've not done as well!

    My score: ZERO!

    I've done everything on this list mainly due to how old I am. 🤪

    Thanks to @bkm for posting this as that's where I saw it first.

    stephen,
    @stephen@stephenwuebker.social avatar

    @cliffwade @bkm @smallsco ZERO here as well, though I don't feel like I'm particularly old... Then again perhaps I am. Interesting addition, when is the last time you did one of the things on the list? For me it's been years and years for most except the paper check, which I think we had to produce when we refinanced our house a few years ago. Also vinyl records happen often, and I'm pretty sure I still own a dictionary somewhere.

    Anyone got a good recommendation for a standing desk VESA mount, that's not a $250+ Ergotron LX Tall? The Amazon Basics Ergotron white label that I was planning to use is pretty great but needs to go up 6-9" more for proper positioning.

    @paul I have this one, which has enough grunt to support my ridiculous ultra wide monitor.

    Mastodon is terrible because it’s hard to join—unlike , a social network that is hard to join, which is great.
