Viewing with Protection
Experts suggests that one widely available fi lter for safe solar viewing is
number 14 welder's glass. It is imperative that the welding hood houses a #14 or darker filter. Do not view
through any welding glass if you do not know or cannot discern its shade number. Be advised that arc
welders typically use glass with a shade much less than the necessary #14. A welding glass that permits you
to see the landscape is not safe. Inexpensive Eclipse Shades have special safety filters that appear similar
to sunglasses, but these filters permits safe viewing. Eclipse shades are available through retailers listed at
http://www.mreclipse.com/Totality/TotalityApC.html under "Solar Filters."
