Watching safely
Never look at the Sun with the naked eye, through sunglasses, or through a camera, binoculars or a telescope without a solar filter: the retina can be burnt without any pain. Use undamaged eclipse glasses meeting the ISO 12312-2 standard, or watch by projection (a pinhole in a piece of card, the shadows of leaves). Only totality, when the Sun is completely hidden, can be watched without protection; put the glasses back on at the first glimmer.
