You need at least 10 stops of ND in order to properly shoot an eclipse, lest you risk frying your sensors.

There's a flickr contact I have that posts some fantastic astronomy pics. He posted a cool animation:

Right-click the image and select "original" to see it.

I've shot eclipses before. I didn't need 10 stops to shoot this yesterday
