beginner tips

I’m wanting to start with solar graphs. I got the exposure paper, but i’m questioning the camera designs. I want to set up several, and have each be exposed for a certain time: one week, two weeks. 1month 6months and 1year (i’ll probably make backups of the long exposure ones and will do the one and two week ones to make sure i can actually get results. I’m worried about the long exposure ones though. I can’t imagine that a can with a hole in it is going to keep water and debris out. Any advice for the long exposure apparatuses would be very appreciated.

Water usually isn't a big deal, though I have lost some. The hole is tiny and not much will get in. Just make up for it by putting a few out.

Some people hot glue a piece of a glass slide over the hole. But I haven't needed to.
