@ Lover - it may cause Germany problems, but that would kind of enhance the experience if you had a good black out
Power to the people
I found another couple of ways of seeing the eclipse without hurting your eyes, if you didn't manage to get any special eclipse glasses, or welding lenses or xray photos
( Thanks guys for those suggestions )
Pinhole projector
Use a pin to create a small hole in the centre of a piece of card.
Stand with your back to the eclipse and hold the perforated piece of card up so it gets the full force of the eclipse.
Then, use a second piece of card or A4 paper, preferably white, as a screen in front of you.
The eclipse will be projected through the pinhole and onto the screen.
-----------------
Colander or large kitchen spoon with holes.
The holes in the colander can be used instead of the perforated card to project several images of the eclipse onto a piece of white card in the same way as a pinhole projector.
