Warning do not use Lee solar filters
On Aug 18, 2017, Davoud wrote
(in article ): Savageduck: At this point I would defer any advice on this matter to our resident stargazer, Davoud. OMG, the pressure is on! I have bought many pairs of safe solar glasses from https://www.rainbowsymphony.com. It might be a bit late to get them, however. I haven't shopped locally, but it must be possible to buy them from Target or CVS or the like. Try to look for made in USA. I bought 200 pair about six months ago; donated 100 pair to the local community college for their public event, distributed another 50 pair to various people, and I'm taking 50 pair with me to our observing site in Tennessee for those who might arrive unprepared. What I am waiting for are the reports on phone cameras damaged when taking solar selfies. -- Regards, Savageduck |

There will surely be some claims that iPhones are less subject to damage photographing eclipse than Android phones. ;-) -- Regards, Savageduck |

Amazon is giving refunds to all purchasers of Lee Solar filters. Under this recall you do not have to return the filters. While there is some confusion about this, I think it best not to use the Lee filter, unless you want to risk damaging your eyes, and/or your sensor. https://petapixel.com/2017/08/14/amazon-refunding-lee-solar-eclipse-filter-buyers-warning-use/ I recall going to school in 1959 with a piece of fogged 120 negative. |
