Hey guys, I tried searching but no luck. Can I use my 190-540, 800-2000nm goggles OD 4 for eclipse viewing? Partial eclipse where I am? I'm guessing not, I ordered some cheap NASA certified ones.

I want to view it directly. I'm not looking for alternative solutions, I already know those. I'm just wondering if what I proposed would or would not work.
I have seen paper googles advertised on Amazon for viewing the eclipse. I don't know anything about them, but you'd think they are safe if advertised as being so. I used the pin hole trick for viewing a solar eclipse back in the early 1990s and it worked well.
great reply RB... what about taking pics??
Yep, as Jerry said, you can get ND Filters (Neutral Density Filters) for Photography.For taking pics the pinhole box with
screen on end would be the cheapest
way to go....
Or perhaps a suitable ND filter on a
digital camera.

I've done it that way before. This time I bought three pairs of glasses for $6.50. Supposed to get here by the 18th. That's cutting it close, but they are coming from New York, so plenty of time to get here. I'll be more than pissed if they get here late. $3.50 of that was shipping.
