use the pinhole box method and look at the image projected by the pinhole. you won't be seeing the corona very well, but you won't burn your retina, either

I got 4 pair months ago for my wife, son, daughter-in-law, and me but my son, and his wife got their own so I have two extra pair.
I could sell them for $5-$10 each but I don't feel like being "that guy". |

I don't and I don't want any. I've never thought it was a good idea to look or stare at the sun, and I'm not trusting a 10 cent pair of glasses to protect my vision even if I wanted to.

#14 shade welding glass will work. Any welding supply house and lots of hardware stores including tractor supply. Assuming they aren't all sold out, kind of late. Run around $8. If you know anyone who TIG welds they should have some.

We're going to use a couple of paper plates to make a quick-and-easy shadow box.
It's overcast now, so I'm not sure if the weather is going to cooperate today. |

I had a chance to buy them a couple of weeks ago at 7-11. full box right in front of me, 2 pairs for $1.99. Of course everyplace is sold out now. I have no idea how safe those glasses are anyway.
Plus I'm still a little shell shocked from the 70's when my mother was screaming I was going to go blind during a solar eclipse. I may just take my kids and hide in the basement. |

I hear you can stare at it for 30 seconds or so before retina burns. So you got a good 20 seconds you can look at it. Im thinking 20 second stare, 10 second break and repeat.

I tested them out and the high noon sun looks like an orange circle surrounded by black. I looked my shop lights in the garage and couldn't see a damn thing. I think I'm gtg. |
