Couldn’t afford the glasses, his welding mask is probably not dark enough and all I have left are 980nm infrared camera filters which are black as sin and you can’t see the sun at high noon on a blazing day, through ‘em.
Gonna watch it on Science Chanel.

If the filter on his mask is rated No. 14 or higher, you’re good to go.

Goggles for a welding torch won’t be dark enough. An arc welding mask will. Don’t hurt those beautiful eyes of yours! ;’)

If you are in path of totality, then it is okay to watch with naked eye but ONLY while it is in total phase.

12 to 14 welding filter is suitable. I’ve got a 5 in my mask and a 9 in the flip up. Total 14. Going to 5 to walk around and add the 9 for viewing.

Steady heavy cloud cover here.
There was some slight darkening and the insects went nuts but not much else to see.
I wish it would rain and get it over with.
