I'm trying to find welding goggles or glasses for the upcoming solar eclipse this summer. Nasa recommends a #14 tint, and everything I can find locally has a #5 tint. I am assuming the lower number is less tint, so not dark enough.
I've tried Canadian Tire, Princess Auto, Home Depot and Lee Valley. Any other suggestions?
I've googled it, and some of the glasses I see available online look to be pretty phony looking; like "blue blockers" rebranded. Not something I want to trust my eyesight with.
For the last total eclipse in 1979 we had this box with a pinhole opening. Not really a great effect.
And of course obligatory.....
And in case anybody else wants to see the path of the eclipse:
