On 12 August, we will have a rare chance to see a partial solar eclipse in Switzerland.
The last time I saw a solar eclipse was in 1999 and I had to fly to Hungary to see it. This time, we can see a partial one in Switzerland or a total one in various countries if you’re willing to travel.
The appropriate filters for cameras are sold out everywhere. No possibility to buy them with delivery before the eclipse.
We decided to have the second beach holidays this summer and watch a full eclipse, since it’s probably the last time in our lives when we have this possibility.
They are called ND 1000000 or ND 5.0 and protect your professional camera from being damaged. You can only film full eclipse stage without them. And no, they are not available on Amazon either.
The solar eclipse glasses are available everywhere. I ordered on the weekend and will receive my order today.
Seems to be similar to the one we were looking for on Amazon.de, just different size. The delivery was August 19 already this weekend (and is still August 19).
BTW the glasses are not delivered to me yet. The only delivered another item that I ordered with the glasses.
