Here ophthalmologist say : do not use any home-made filters, including

candle-sooted glass. Only special glass with some... cobalt stuff ? ...

This is very important. Because it is not the problem to look to a common

Sun disk. You can look only for a short time. But, with eclipse,when the

main light effulgence is covered, we can watch directly to the Sun, but

our iris is wide open ! It tells us that there is no harming light, but

the point is that it does not recognize the IR and other radiation, which

we normally never will be tempted to look at. And these radiations are

not much reduced by the eclipse. Any watching to the eclipse longer than

3 sec would cause the burns on the area close to the yellow spot. This is

public info. It is recommended that children are kept inside, animals

also, because they might went blind. They even joke that this year will

be easy for hunters, since most of the rabbits will be blind.

So, even for filters, you can reduce the light radiation, but they still

do not make your iris safely closed.
