Thank you! I will use this for the Total Eclipse for April 2024. I don't want the risks of using glasses to look directly at the sun.

Super fortunate to be able to make this last minute to view the eclipse for April 2024. What a great way to use resources that are at home. Definitely a lower cost option compared to the glasses !
