I use a pinhole box and followed the progress. So I had the camera pointed at a piece of white paper. It showed the perfect outline of the sun and the little black bite that was taken out of a bright cookie. You could also see some wispy clouds as they passed by the sun. It was really neat.

You can get all these filters to video it but it was too expensive. And it does burn your retina if you dont have the right type of filters over your eyes. And even then, it does not look as good so I just used the pinhole.
