Is this what you mean? Links refer to sun and moon.

What is a “hyper lap”? Other UHH members, please hold back, I would like the OP to respond.

A google will show what a hyper-lapse is. If he didn't spell it exactly correct, no biggie.

First step is probably to get a neutral density filter with a high number (or a variable ND filter and use it at its darkest).

Unless there is haze, smoke, humidity, thin clouds or other natural "filters" (air pollution), the sun will always appear bright white in your photos. Read an excellent article here regarding filters, equipment and safeguards.

Is it considered irony that you made your own typo? The OP's description includes an S at the end of lap.

I wasn't sure whether it was one case of "laps" or many cases of "lap".

I suppose it is good to ask rather than assume

Read the warnings about ND filters when shooting the sun:

Do not use a neutral density filter to shoot the sun unless it is low on the horizon. If you are shooting the sun high in the sky, you absolutely must use a solar filter, unless you don't mind damaging your vision.

Simply buy a Solar Filter, available as a standard filter or in film form for a very low cost.

It's "were." Yes, there is a lot of semi-literacy here.
