I just took pictures through the eclipse glasses as my sun filter. You could probably do it too with your P1000, just make sure to block off any light that could leak around the filter, then you can take pics of sun spots. My relatively cheap camera, and someone else's expensive DSLR had trouble getting a sharp focus on the sun. We had to manually dial in the focus the last little bit.

Your pictures look great.  I didn’t have a solar filter and didn’t want to ruin the camera, so I just took pictures during totality.  By the time I realized that a UV filter didn’t suffice, it was too late to order an ND filter and all the local places were sold out.

Great pics, much better than mine. I had cloudy skies, but I watched the whole time of totality. It was amazing. I guess Y2K failed again! :laugh1:
Agreed.  I will say however, that I think the big hype this time around is part and parcel of the continuation of the push for the "we're all in this together- we're unified" nonsense from COVID:

I was listening to a local report after the eclipse and people were saying how emotional they were and realized just how insignificant they were in the universe. Really? It took a solar eclipse for you to have this realization?  And you cried about it? :facepalm:

No tripod support unfortunately, but I wanted to get a picture of how solid the moon looks even when its not full.

This is why I insist that anyone who wants to argue that the Moon is not a solid sphere which has actual craters, must first look at it with a telescope.
