If I have a D3200 with a 55-200mm lens, how would be the best way to protect the camera? (I already know how to protect myself with those special glasses. ) I am a beginnger for when it comes to DSLRs so sorry if this sounds stupid.

What's he doing at 2:27? Is he trying to shoot the sun? You missed bud.

So, the eclipse goes from west to east, or the opposite direction of the sun?

[@SigmaTech]

West to East, yes

Honestly it's going to be boring having a bunch of close ups. Timelapsing or wide angle stuff is going to be sick.
