Hello everyone, I'm sure most of you are aware there will be a full solar eclipse in August so I thought I would post three links that can be helpful if your planning to photograph this event. (Item #3 is extremely useful)
1) This is a How-To-Photograph the eclipse paper published by Lewis Kemper that will give you some useful pointers:

2) This will give you some info towards a cost effective way to make your own Solar Filter for your lens and eyewear: Thanks to David Schoen and Keith Bauer

3) This is an interactive map of the eclipse track through the United States, just click on a location within the map and all the needed info will pop-up - very useful indeed:

Hope this is helpful and good luck, lets also hope we all have a clear day on August 21, 2017.
Note: I compiled this info for the members of our local camera clubs and thought it may be useful to the NPN membership also.

Thank you Mike!  We're heading the the Smoky Mountains....along with probably a million other people.
