Hiya Dale I believe you can take them off right AFTER Bailey's Beads. If you have the app SOLAR ECLIPSE TIMER you can get more information than you wanted:) It gives you all the times based on the locality you are in if you CHANGE YOUR PHONE CLOCK TO UTC, GMT It will also speak the times to you while you are watching through your glasses, solar binocs, solar filtered (on the objective side) lens on camera, or solar scope, OR scope with solar filter on objective aperture side. It was written by Foxwood Astronomy, reviewed in Cloudy Nights, and all info online if you want to look it over BEFORE downloading the app. http://www.solareclipsetimer.com/ All the best, Shoshana Also, can I make a humble request, that if anyone posting feels inclined to clean up replies so it's easier to find postings, please? Just hit reply, and erase everything that is there, or just leave the post you are replying to? I have no stake in this except for eliminating CORN FUSION for my elderly eyes. :) It's just a request.....
