As an astronomer, I love dedicated astrophotography kit, but sometimes the best camera is the one in your pocket! Yesterday, I managed a quick capture of the solar eclipse using my OPPO Find N2 Flip shot through a Shade 12 welding glass filter. ​The vivid green hue is the natural signature of the welding glass, which cuts down the intense sunlight to safe levels for the phone’s sensor. The result? A crisp, clear crescent Sun. ​Proof that you don't always need a high-end rig to appreciate celestial mechanic, just a bit of curiosity and the right glass to hand. ;-)
