€10.00

A NOTE ABOUT “REGISTERED POST” REQUIREMENT:
We ship all Eclipse Glasses by An Post’s “Registered Post” service, which costs €10 (see “An Post Registered Post Rates” ) so orders can be tracked and traced.
**You must select “Registered Post” in your basket if you want delivery.
You will receive tracking information when they are dispatched.
This is because An Post were losing a lot of orders, so important items need to be tracked.  As a non-profit organisation run by volunteers we do not attract the low deliver rates the big players like the amazon’s of this world get, so we have to pass this cost on unfortunately.
Some people order several pairs for family and friends to spread the delivery charge.
Sorry about this, and to offset this we’ll include a copy of the latest magazine (worth €5.95) – and hopefully you’ll sign up for that too when you see it!

The glasses are High Quality EU-Certified safe Solar Viewing Glasses. We have a limited quantity.

You should keep these glasses after the eclipse for viewing giant ‘naked eye’ sunspots that appear from time to time. DO NOT look through binoculars or telescopes while wearing eclipse glasses as they give way too bright an image and may even damage the glasses and your eyesight too.

REMEMBER: Do NOT select “Free Shipping” when you check out.

SAFE VIEWING

Of course it can be highly dangerous to view the Sun and a partially eclipsed Sun is just as dangerous – perhaps more so as people will be drawn to looking at it. NEVER look at the Sun with ANY optical aid (binoculars or telescopes) as permanent eye damage can happen instantly. It is not even safe to look at the Sun with just the naked eye and even several pairs of sunglasses should not be used.

 

Solar Eclipse Glasses

High Quality EU-certified safe Solar Viewing Glasses are available from Astronomy Ireland. We have a limited quantity.

You should keep these glasses after the eclipse for viewing giant ‘naked eye’ sunspots that appear from time to time. DO NOT look through binoculars or telescopes while wearing eclipse glasses as they give way too bright an image and may even damage the glasses and your eyesight too.

These are also useful for seeing giant sunspots that occasionally appear on the Sun that we will alert you to on our social media pages.

You can also sign up for a year’s subscription and you will then get future magazines showing all the photos sent in from around Ireland and loads of other things to see in the sky: HERE
