Now ask the question you actually want to be answered.

Depends....do you live in the area the eclipse is due to cover? If the answer is no then sorry, not this time.

Last full eclipse was 99.

There was no sarcasm to read. smile

I was stood outside in Essex in 1999, using a welding mask to look at the eclipse. The mask was too dark. I couldn't see anything through it.

I'm not a welder, so I don't know why it didn't work! I ended up borrowing (stealing) a set of the official sun specs from my brother.
