Eclipse glasses / filters

[OKCHunter]

Is it even going to be visible here?

85% in Edmond.

Any of you know where glasses and camera filters are being sold in the OKC area for viewing, photographing the eclipse?

For camera solar lenses, try Bedford Camera on May Avenue. Maybe Baker Photo and Video in Yukon.

There was a previous thread here at OSA that had a link that would show how much of an eclipse one would see, based on their Zip code.

Type in your zip code in the yellow box, begin careful that it doesn't include extra numbers.

I went to a Welding supply store. Ordered some #14 helmet glass for around 2 dollars and change.

Lowes in Tulsa has them in a display as soon as you walk in the door.
TPS is handing them out to school kids (at least to Edison students to go out and watch)

We got ours at lowes. Amazon.com probably has em

I have an order coming from Amazon, but the delivery date has changed three times this week. Lowes in Moore, and Walmart next door are both sold out.

Some web site mentioned using the wrong type of glass(es) would cause your eyes pupils to dilate and you don't want that. If I can get the fuel pump in the RV working, we may drive to MO. to watch. I really want to fly during the eclipse to see the sunrise and set 360 degrees all at once, sounds incredible, but the middle of the day is not friendly to hot air balloons.

After cancelling my Amazon order, I ordered from B&H Photo. We'll see if these guys deliver. I've ordered cameras and lenses from them in the past, and have been pleased.

Folks along the full eclipse line are even renting and getting $400 a night or more to just pull in and use their driveways.
Some requiring a two or three day stay.

One of the longest viewing areas of the eclipse in Idaho. We have a large driveway for RV PARKING. We are just outside of city limits in rural south east Idaho. Only 80 miles from Jackson Hole Wyoming and West Yellowstone Montana. Yellowstone Bear world is 3.5 miles from our driveway. We are conveniently located just 3 miles from Hwy 20. Water, electricity and wifi may be available but not guaranteed. We will have glasses for the eclipse available to purchase for $5.00 a pair.

This listing is NOT for our home. RV parking for eclipse weekend only. Beds and bathroom availability are based on your RV. Smoking allowed in designated area.
