not perfect

the pair i got was torn/bent probably from shipping and doesn't seem to mess with the safety, but for that not worth a 5 star. I ordered because last eclipse they sold out everywhere, so i wanted a pair to keep safe for 2023.

Did exactly what it said it would do

I did my research and Adorama offered the safest option to view the eclipse with these glasses. I was worried that they would run out so I ordered them online and went to the store to pick them up. Living in NY so it was not full eclipse but I was able to safely watch it for an hour and bought a couple of share with people who didn't have them on the streets of NY. It was a great communal experience. Took my mind off of Trump for a few hours

Exactly what was advertised

The pair of glasses we purchased to view the eclipse last month were exactly what was advertised (and authentic). I appreciate that 1) Adorama did not hike the price too high, despite that the demand for glasses was very high the week prior to the eclipse and 2) paying for quicker shipping resulted in the glasses arriving as promised. I have never shopped with Adorama prior to this, but will definitely keep them in mind in the future for camera and other related needs!

Did the job

Really cool watching the eclipse. The glasses don't sit particularly well on my face but you can pretty much tell that from the picture so they worked as expected. 5 people used them and there were no complaints.

Great product and service.

I purchased solar eclipse viewing glasses. I was late in ordering them and was not sure there would be stock available. Adorama had the stock and communication /service was top notch. Would not hesitate to recommend to my friends. Thank you!

This was the last site on the internet that wasn't price-gouging these glasses and had them in stock. I got some of the last pair and it was delivered just in time for the eclipse. Thanks, Adorama!

Thanks for ensuring an awesome eclipse experience!

I ordered these on this site when all local retailers and Amazon were all sold out. At first I was nervous they wouldn't arrive on time because I didn't get a shipping notification right away & they were showing as back ordered. But I contacted customer service who responded quickly & ensured my glasses were sent ASAP. They arrived a few days before the eclipse and we used them to enjoy it. Awesome experience made possible by Adorama. Thank you!

High quality glasses for solar viewing.

I used these glasses for the 2017 Eclipse. From our location, in the canyons of Red Walls 50 miles NW of Casper, we had a clear view. I wanted reliable solar glasses as we'd be isolated. Adorama has always meant quality and these glasses were no exception.

Good for staring contests with the sun.

I was able to stare directly at the sun with these and my retinas are still good! There was a little bit of the moon in the way, but all in all a success.

NASA 2017 approved!

So affordable, that even if they get scratched in storage before the next eclipse, I wouldn't mind purchasing another. NASA approved to 'not expire' for a while ( otherwise would consider donating to a charity such as astronomerswithoutborders.org

Adorama's glasses did not distort the color and worked fine

We had to quickly get glasses as Amazon admitted ones I bought couldn't be validated by ISO. Ours came overnight. We also got free ones near the eclipse, but sunlight coming through was very yellow. Adorama's glasses did not distort the color and worked fine.

propper eye protection from the sun

I had used a Baader solar filter on my telescope to view the Venus transit of the sun, and it worked perfectly. So it was a no brainer to buy these for the solar eclipse. I and my friends used them and had a great experience of the eclipse, although it was only at 75%.

About Baader Planetarium Solar Eclipse Glasses

FEATURED REVIEWS

Cheap but how often will I use them.

By William H.

Well haven't viewed the eclipse yet, tested only about 5 min. Seemed to work not blind. Do not plan on walking around when you have them on. Cannot see anything. Will file an update after the eclipse.

Just what I needed

By Alisa B.

The arrived quickly and packaged well, not marring, scratches or holes. I plan to make good use of them during this historic eclipse!

Bring the celestial spectacle of a solar eclipse right to your eyes with the AstroSolar Sun Solar Eclipse Sunglasses. Crafted by the renowned Baader Planetarium, these sunglasses are specifically designed for safe and direct observation of solar eclipses.

The AstroSolar Silver/Gold Film, a unique feature of these sunglasses, has been meticulously developed for zero magnification visual solar observation. This film is exclusively used in the production of Baader's Solar Viewers, ensuring a high-quality viewing experience.

The optical density of the Solar Viewer AstroSolar Silver/Gold is OD 5.0, providing a clear and sharp image of the sun. The sunglasses are CE-certified and comply with the Norm EN ISO 12312-2:2015, reinforcing their safety for direct solar observation.

The AstroSolar Silver Film has a proven track record of over 25 years. During the significant total eclipse over Europe in 1999, over 20 million solar viewers equipped with this film were in use. The 2017 American solar eclipse saw the introduction of its successor, the Solar Viewer AstroSolar Silver/Gold.

These sunglasses feature eye-sided reflex-free material for an enhanced viewing experience. A single layer of AstroSolar Silver/Gold Film delivers a perfectly sharp and energy-balanced solar image, allowing you to identify large sunspots. Unlike simpler sooth-filled energy absorbent films, these sunglasses do not transmit irresponsible amounts of infrared (heat) radiation, thanks to the added IR-blocking by metal reflective coatings.

The dual side metallization process designed for AstroSolar Silver/Gold Film ensures the sunglasses remain safe for direct sun viewing, even if the front side of the viewer is scratched or lightly damaged. However, it's crucial to inspect the solar viewers thoroughly before use to detect any possible damage due to mishandling.

Experience the awe-inspiring phenomenon of a solar eclipse with the AstroSolar Sun Solar Eclipse Sunglasses, a perfect blend of safety, quality, and innovation.
