Re: Shooting the eclipse.

[Russ Rosener <rrosener@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have heard that for a solar eclipse you must use a very deep filter. If
you go to a store that sells supplies for welding, get a visor used by arc
welders. It is virtually opaque, but the solar eclipse should be revealed.
It's also (so they say!) To look through it as well.
