You can get them on Amazon. Get the 8x8 sheet at least.
Step 2: Carefully cut sheet into squares that fit over the binoculars.
Step 3: Tape squares over binocular ends, making sure that no actual sunlight can get through.
Go an image search for "diy solar filter binoculars" to see dozens of ways to mount it safely. |
Thanks for the tip, Mike. I was gonna order it directly from Thousand Oaks, but their least expensive shipping was $10. I had a few other things on a list I've been making to order from Amazon, so I placed an order last night and got free regular shipping and they're supposed to be here in about a week.
I'll have enough to do the binocs and make a viewing sheet mounted in matteboard or similar.
