Recommended gear

  • Omegon Sofi Solar Safe

    essential

    ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses

    They protect your eyes during the partial phases.

    Never look at the Sun without protection outside totality. Ordinary sunglasses don't protect you. Check the manufacturer's marking and that they aren't damaged.

    Omegon Sofi Solar Safe

    • Polymer lenses
    • Optical density 5

    Its product page states the ISO 12312-2 standard, CE marking and optical density 5. Check this on the packaging too.

  • Omegon Solar Safe Easy Cam

    essential

    Certified front-mounted solar filter

    Needed on telescopes, cameras and binoculars outside totality.

    It goes in front of the lens, never on the eyepiece. Without it, the optics concentrate the light and can seriously damage your eyes and your gear.

    Omegon Solar Safe Easy Cam

    • For phones
    • Velcro attachment

    Its product page states the DIN ISO 12312-2 standard. Check this on the packaging too.

    For phone cameras only. It is not suitable for telescopes, DSLR cameras or binoculars: we don't link to any for those yet, because we haven't found a product page that shows certification.

    See on Astroshop
  • Celestron 10x42 EclipSmart

    optional

    Binoculars with solar filter

    They show the Moon moving across the Sun, and sunspots, during the partial phases.

    Use a filter outside totality.

    Celestron 10x42 EclipSmart

    • 10x magnification, 42 mm
    • Fixed solar filter

    Its product page states they meet the transmission requirements of ISO 12312-2. Check this on the packaging too.

    The filter is fixed: they work for the partial phases, but you can't see the corona through them during totality.
