Re: Welders Glass for viewing Solar Eclipse

When we had the last eclipse in the UK the welding shops did sell a lot of filters which normally there was not a lot of call for, like 16 or more IIRC. From what I remember a shade 11 is not sufficient to provide adequate protection for direct viewing. A good place to ask, if you can't find the info on the web, would be a local astronomy club.

Anyone know if these are safe for viewing a Solar Eclipse?

Thanks
