I did get to watch a good total eclipse that I was dead center of just outside Richland, Washington in the mid 70's. I took 2 #5 welding hood lenses and took a small piece of cardboard, cut a hole and taped the edges of the lenses too it. Worked like a champ. It was still a little bright, If you can get lenses that total 11 it would probably be better. Enjoy Merlin007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Clouds have stayed away. They are predicting we should have almost 3 minutes of totality in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
