It can be a great and fun marketing tool to give your clients solar eclipse glasses.

No, we are not going to be in the path, just going to see a partial if the marine layer is not around.  I have been informed that you can take a great picture using an iPhone through a telescope...

We bought ours several weeks ago when they were plentiful. Now I hear people are buying counterfeit glasses!

I watched the 1979 eclipse in Michigan and we used cardboard with a pin hole in it.

Be careful!! There was a report this morning that retailers are selling unapproved solar eclipse glasses, and using them could be dangerous for your eyes and damage your vision.

I was thinking of ordering a batch of them from bhphoto to give away to people who visited my open house, or somehow use them in a promotion. Maybe, The first 20 who " Like" my fb page get a free set of solar eclipse glasses. Or, sign up for my newsletter and get a free pair of solar glasses. I decided that it probably wasn't worth the effort.
