Your viewfinder is leaking light, use a cover on it - one came with your camera.

Excellent possibility. I keep forgetting some people still use SLRs....

A potential alternative approach:

Rather than drop the light incoming by 10 stops, drop it by somewhere around 3 to get long enough exposure times that:

1)  The shot rate is slow enough that you can clear the buffer in continuous drive mode

2) The dead time in between shots in continuous drive mode is negligible compared to the shot time

Then take a series of images in continuous drive mode and stack in post.
