4. Search for eclipse glasses to find viewers If you’re observing the Sun with your naked eyes, all you really need are low-cost solar observing glasses from companies such as Rainbow Symphony (I found some on Amazon and eBay too)Rainbow Symphony Can use #14 arc welding glass too (including welding goggles) For telescopes or binoculars make sure you have a solar filter on the end (not the eye piece) Moonen does not endorse any of the companies listed in the purchase of solar merchandise, nor is she responsible for any identity theft.
