RE: #astrophotography is how many people doing this are right-wing assholes who actively work on destroying their own hobby

Yeah, so I suck at #astrophotography when all I have is a handheld mobile phone camera. 🌙♀♃

Didn't get to see a total eclipse yet since I picked up astrophotography, but here's the annular one in 2023, as seen from Roswell, New Mexico.
Very simple setup with a professional-grade telescope solar filter film (from Baader) and a small handheld Nikon J5 mirrorless camera.
I would recommend NOT to use those cardboard eclipse glasses for photography, it's way too easy to get it wrong and ruin your camera sensor (or worse, your eyesight if you look through e.g. a DSLR and it accidentally slips).
If you don't really know what you're doing it's much better to just enjoy an event like this directly with the eclipse glasses on your face. (It's safe to look directly during totality, and totality only.)
There will be plenty of pictures!
