You could try 2 linear polarizers and rotate one of them to cut the light
down significantly. You may find the colour balance is a bit off but you
can always adjust that in post.

Subject: Re: [OM] Upcoming total solar eclipse in US
We are slightly off the path of total eclipse but it should be impressive
here in York, SC. I've got glasses and a telescope with a solar filter
coming from B&H. I'm not sure how I'll take photos. I have lots of dark
filters but the actual solar filters are sold out everywhere and way too
expensive. I may just watch.
