like a bite has been taken out of it.
An Annular Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon passes
directly in front of the Sun, but only blocks the central
portion of the Sun. During this type of eclipse, the Moon is a
smaller apparent size than the Sun and cannot completely
block the Sun. As a result, the Sun’s entire edge, or
annular region, is still visible around the Moon.
A Total Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon passes
directly in front of the Sun, blocking the entire solar disk.
During this type of eclipse, the Moon and Sun overlap
completely and observers located in the shadows darker
umbra region will experience “totality”. During “totality”, or
maximum blockage, the daytime sky can noticeably darken
in a matter of minutes. This is the most prized of all solar
eclipses and few people see this in their lifetime.
The partial, annular, and total solar eclipses are events you
don’t want to miss!
How to Observe a Solar Eclipse:
CAUTION: NEVER
look through your binoculars at or
near the Sun until the solar filters are securely installed
at the front of the bincoculars. Please read the following
instructions fully and keep them in mind before observing
the Sun. Always use caution when viewing at or near the Sun.
Adult Supervision is required.
To view the solar eclipse, make sure you have the front
EclipseView solar filters installed. Never look at the Sun
without the solar filters installed or severe damage to your
eyes can occur, including blindness.
The view through the EclipseView Solar filters should be
comfortable, and not excessively bright. If the view through
the filter is uncomfortable or excessively bright, stop using
the filters immediately!
Choose an observing site with a clear view of the sky and
as close to the umbra shadow region as possible. Often,
people travel to locations where the solar eclipse will be
most intense and weather will be clear.
Choose an observing location on grass and away from asphalt
and concrete. Viewing over grass will reduce the amount of heat
currents seen and give a better image quality.
The solar eclipse can last several hours from start to finish so
make sure you have Sunblock, head covering or shaded place
where you can get out of the bright Sun when needed.
Check the weather! Nothing
can spoil a solar eclipse like
clouds or rain.
You can also observe the
Sun with special Mylar
solar glasses, which you
can purchase from Meade
or at online retailers.
The filters on these solar
glasses are made of solar
safe material, similar to that found on the EclipseView solar
filter. In addition to using your EclipseView Binoculars
there are also indirect ways to view the Sun as well. A
quick Google search will yield many different ideas.
Just remember to never look at or near the Sun without
the proper solar filters!
Solar Filter Maintenance:
The solar filters can be cleaned by using a soft micro-fiber
cloth, soft brush, or soft blower. First, gently blow off any
dust that may accumulate on the filter from outside use. If
the filter is still dirty than you may use a soft brush or micro-
fiber cloth to remove the debris by gently wiping away the
dust or debris.
Do not clean with water or other liquids.
Please keep in mind that the solar filter film can be sensitive and
the film can be scratched or damaged easily. The solar filter
should be handled with care at all times to ensure safety when in
use. This will also minimize accidental damage.
When the filters are not in use, store in a cool dry place.
Safety Compliance:
The EclipseView solar filter meets the following safety and
compliance standards:
-Meets the requirements for ISO 12312-2:2015
-“CE” certified to the transmission requirements of scale 12-16 of
EN 169/1992
- Meets the 2012 Transmission Requirements of EN 1836:2005 &
