I just checked out Rainbow Symphony and they have eclipse shades in stock. I bought 100 of them a couple of years ago for the Christmas Ecplise. I gave them out to family and friends as a gift along with instructions telling them when to look. I think I will order a few more. It looks like they sell them for $25/25, $42.50/50, $75/100. http://www.rainbowsymphony.com/soleclipse Dave -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Hards [mailto:chuckhards@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 9:00 AM To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Eclipse Glasses Joe, I don't know of any local place that sells them. You might try the Chem Shop. Hands-On Optics (Gary Hand) is the eclipse-glasses czar in this country. He bought-out a manufacturer's inventory several years ago, and I think he still has thousands of them. You can also purchase a sheet of Mylar from Astro-physics or Thousand Oaks (Baader is still the best) and make your own inexpensively. I have a couple of pair myself, and a few of Tuthill's "cards" that I could loan you if you strike out completely. I plan to make dual solar-filters for my 70mm binos for this eclipse, from the Baader material and PVC pipe. Chuck --- Joe Borgione <jborgion@xmission.com> wrote:
Does anybody know of a local (Salt Lake) source for eclipse veiwing glasses? If I can, I'd like to pick a few. I'm considering getting some welding helmet lenses as an alternative; I think I can get those at a place like Wasatch Metals.
