Ive recently invested in a cheap 10 stop filter (which is more like 11 stops) and just want to clear something up before I use it in anger.
Ive read a number of things in posts about potentially overheating your sensor during long exposures. Admittedly this was mainly in tutorials for star trails etc. but surely the same will apply. Is this just scare mongering or can you really cook / damage the sensor?
At 11 stops with a normal exposure time of 0.5 sec Id be looking at 16 min. Should I be careful?
