The Countdown is On!

I recently ordered the Celestron EclipSmart Solar Shades Observing Kit from Adorama, of course, as I am in the direct line of blackout for the upcoming 2017 total eclipse. The website is user friendly, packaging and shipping times were excellent, the product is worth more than I paid and Adorama's customer service was more than I could ever expect from an online merchant. I couldn't have picked a better website or product. I definitely recommend and will use this site again.

Excellent Solar Shades and Booklet

These solar shades use a metallic coating over dark polymer substrate very similar to professional solar filters made for telescopes. Safe for direct viewing os the sun and eclipse. The included booklet is very well done with loads of information about solar eclipses, including the 2017 solar eclipse.

Great value for basic eclipse watching materials

This kit includes four paper/mylar eye shields for viewing the upcoming eclipse and a guide to when and where to watch. The kit was back ordered but I got it a few weeks later in plenty of time for the August Total Eclipse. This is the cheapest, safe way to view the eclipse!
