I had purchased my eclipse filter for my telephoto lens a couple months back since we are in the path of totality. You'll burn the sensor in your camera out if you don't have protection for it. However, at totality, when you can see the dark side of the moon, you don't need such a filter and you can even look at it with the naked eye. In fact, with the filter on, the camera couldn't pick up the moon at all. So for a minute and 14 seconds, no filter, no special glasses. Those dips of light you see at 1 and 3 o'clock are valleys between mountains on the moon shining through. In the high desert of central Oregon (rural Jefferson County).
