1. Baader Solar Viewer AstroSolar Silver/Gold Eclipse Glasses / Shades # 2459294 - Pack of 1
On August 21 2017, every solar enthusiast will need an eclipse viewer to see the Great American Eclipse in USA. Many cheap and unsafe products are offered – we have a better alternative with our 25 years of experience in producing solar filter equipment: Baader Solar Viewer AstroSolar Silver/Gold* glasses/shades # 2459294.
(Agena Note: We do not know why Baader calls this "Silver/Gold". The film is silver on one side and black on the other!)
2. Features:
No reflections:
The anti-reflective, UV-absorbing "Gold" Film on the inside of Baader's AstroSolar Viewers guarantees a most comfortable viewing experience
Made in Germany:
Baader Solar Viewers are entirely produced in Germany under direct supervision of Baader Planetarium. These are high quality glasses using time tested expensive materials, processes, and stringent quality controls.
Safety:
Baader Solar Viewer AstroSolar Glasses meet and largely exceed the latest EN ISO 12312-2:2015 standard for eclipse viewers. Just as importantly - each and every viewer is tested to ensure its safety. Don't entrust your eyes to anything less.
Crystal clear and tack sharp:
Many low cost viewers may supply softer hazy views. Baader's Solar Viewers deliver the same crystal clear views as their renowned AstroSolar film used for over 25 years by professionals and amateurs for high magnification telescopic observation.
True color views:
No other viewer presents the sun as close to its real color – WHITE! Other viewers claim to produce a "pleasing" or "natural" yellow or orange colored sun (not because that is desirable, but because all simple smoked plastic viewers color the image to look reddish). Nothing could be more unnatural for the overhead sun. Our Sun is White and Baader's AstroSolar Glasses are the only way to see it this way with your eyes.
The optical density of the AstroSolar Silver/Gold Solar Viewer is OD 5.0. Baader Planetarium's solar glasses are CE-certified and comply to the Norm EN ISO 12312-2:2015 – thus they are certified for safe and direct viewing of the Sun.
AstroSolar Silver/Gold has no added treatments to attain fine-optical properties necessary for high magnification work. It is not suited to being used in combination with telescope, binoculars, spotting scopes or camera lenses.
Baader has been producing Baader AstroSolar Silver Film for more than 25 years. In 1999, during the grand total eclipse over Europe, more than 20 million solar viewers equipped with this film were sold. For the Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017, Baader has now introduced an improved successor: Solar Viewer AstroSolar Silver/Gold with eye-sided reflex-free material for an excellent viewing experience.
Dimensions: 145 x 55 x 2 mm. Ships folded.
3. Warning:
Never look at the sun without special eye protection. When viewing the eclipse, use these glasses at all times when any part of the sun is visible. For direct, unmagnified viewing only. Do not look into an unfiltered telescope with these glasses.
4. Why does Baader not use this film for telescopes?
When using precision-grade AstroSolar Safety Film for telescopes, perfect optical quality is most important. However, this film must be treated with great care since the metal and protective coatings applied onto both sides of the film are very similar in their technical properties to the reflective surface applied onto astronomical mirrors. Since a Solar Viewer is used visually at zero magnification, the optical grade of the film is not of prime consideration. Instead it is most desirable to apply protective coatings of highest durability grade, to end up with a protective film of much higher resilience against accidental rough handling.
This is being achieved for AstroSolar Silver/Gold Film with its metal hard coated layers applied onto both sides of the film, making it scratch resistant without sacrificing sharpness and without creating a double image of the Sun due to adding up several layers of dark and/or reflective film onto each other. A single layer of AstroSolar Film provides a perfectly sharp and energy balanced solar image – including the ability of identifying large sunspots and without transmitting irresponsible amounts of infrared (heat) radiation as with simpler sooth-filled energy absorbent films which do not offer added IR-blocking by metal reflective coatings.
Due to the dual side metallization process designed for AstroSolar Silver/Gold Film, the film remains safe for a straight look into the Sun, even in case the front side of the viewer would suffer a scratch or mild kind of abuse. Still every solar viewer must always get a thorough inspection by the user to detect possible damages due to wrong handling and must be discarded in case a defect would be visible.
Note:
Occasionally, the product you receive might have a slightly different cosmetic appearance or labeling than what is shown. This can often change from batch to batch according to the whims of the manufacturer. However, you will always receive a brand new, original product as described above.

4. INTERNATIONAL ORDERING / SHIPPING
Shipping Cost:
Click on the "Shipping and Payments" tab above and select your country to see your shipping choices and cost. If you need a shipping cost estimate for multiple items, please contact us.
Delivery Time:
1) USPS First Class International:
Delivery takes about 3-4 weeks after we ship your package.
This can frequently take 4-6 weeks or more for several countries (8 weeks for Italy, Argentina, and South Africa; 8-12 weeks for Brazil)
.
THERE IS NO TRACKING FOR FIRST CLASS SHIPMENTS. The information shown in your eBay account is just a customs form number - it is NOT a tracking number as incorrectly indicated by eBay.
Once your package ships, we can do nothing but wait until your package arrives. Please do not become impatient and contact us in 2-3 weeks if your package has not arrived. If you don't receive the package in 6 weeks, contact us and we will work with you to resolve the issue. If you don't want to take the risk of this delay, then DO NOT USE First Class mail - use Priority or Express shipping instead.
(2) USPS Priority Mail International:
Delivery takes 1 - 2 weeks after we ship your package. This can sometimes take 3-4 weeks to several countries. The USPS provides some basic tracking information for Priority shipping.
(3) USPS Express Mail International:
Delivery usually takes 5-10 business days after we ship your package. You will receive a tracking number with which you can track your shipment from USPS.com. Note: If you use this option, you must send us your phone number when you check-out or else your shipment will be delayed. This is required for international postal forms.
Again, these delivery times are NOT guaranteed by the US Postal Service. The most common reason for delays is slow customs inspection and clearance in your country, and can be very long, even for Express mail packages. Upon shipping your order, delivery delays are beyond our control, so do not leave us negative feedback or file a Paypal claim if your package is delayed. Delays are quite common but losses are very rare, so your patience/cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
Customs and Duties:
You are responsible for any duties and taxes that may be levied in your country. These are not included in the item price or shipping cost. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be or if they will be levied upon delivery. Customs policies vary widely from country to country (Some countries such as UK are strict about imposing hefty customs duties). It is your responsibility to check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the delivery company or your country's postal service, or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are NOT additional shipping charges.
