Can also buy similar from places like https://astronz.nz/collections/solar-filters (Auckland Astronomical Society).

I don't want to wait until the last moment, and don't want to buy ones that don't protect.

It's the first time I've seen them use that script and it's annoying. The scrolling seems to work at half speed and the sideways stuff is slow.

Grabbing and lifting the little scrollbar puts the script into reverse, including the sideways scrolling. It's a bit weird and unsettling.

I miss him too.
That article has good images but was irritating with its sideways scroll on desktop.

The one of Prague Castle was especially stunning as is the one with the bull which features on your post.

It should be a beaut.

One lesson from the UK is to buy glasses early because many missed out.

The weather on the day we're due to have one tends to be fine and frosty. And I've already found some good spots to view it from the Taieri valley 👀
