Anyone know a good place to watch in San Diego ? I'm thinking one of the turnoffs on sunrise highway in the Mount Laguna area. They say the sun will be 83% gone around 6:30 pm.

 

Hey Eric!!!

We watched it from my front lawn in Corona... Seven of us passed around the #10 lens from my welding helmet. Made it easy to view. Really cool! I'm 53 years old and that was the first time I actually watched one.

My automatic helmet wouldn't kick in... so I was very confident the welding lens was safe.

Hope to see ya out there soon!

Did you get to check it out? We took a strip of film and looked through a dark spot to see it, ^^^^ I bet the welding mask was cool

 

It was pretty cool. Watched it from my house in ocean beach. Really cool!

 

There was about 15 people on the turnout on sunrise hwy. a couple of exposed films and a welding lens. I got some pics as the sun set.

 

Watched it from my house. I also used a welding lens to see it. It was pretty neat and it was my first time ever really taking a look at it as it happened. I give it a big

 

Yeah, it worked perfect. Pulled it out of the helmet so everyone could use it.

FYI for everyone in the future: You can buy a dark lense at Home Depot in the welding section for about $5-$10 if I remember correctly.

 

It was awesome! I saw it on the beach in PB with some special googles... It was awesome!
