There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I tried the cardboard-framed glasses, the plastic-framed glasses, the filter (over my iPhone's camera lenses) and I read much of the information material that was included. The glasses and filter seemed to work well. The size & fit of the cardboard-frame glasses seemed a bit small for my average size man's head but were good enough. The plastic-framed glasses were slightly larger and fit me well. I could use the plastic-framed glasses over (on top of) the glasses I wear for correcting my distance vision, so that was terrific.
I found it easy to manipulate the filter to place it and keep it over my iPhone's camera lenses (for the very short period of time I had the camera pointed towards the sun (I wanted to minimize the risk of damaging the phone's camera)). Photos taken through the filter of the mostly-eclipsed sun look fine.
The information material, including the large fold-out map, were well written and informative.
I recommend this kit.
No I have this package and kids in the house I feel confident the kids are safe to look. Of course I tested this theory out immediately. The cool thing is the glasses are sturdy and can be worn to look at the sun. You cannot use these as actual sun glasses, way too dark but easily look at the sun safely. Also have a filter to place over my camera to take pictures of the eclipse. So no shoe box this time. The map of the eclipse path and time chart is great. My wife and I have already planned where we will be for the eclipse based on the map so we can see 100% coverage. You can easily see the coverage based on where you live and the time it will happen. Well worth the money for someone who has kids and wants to show them a total eclipse.
This is not my first eclipse, but will probably be my last in North America. While I am working on some other, larger filters to use with my SLR, this is still all useful stuff.
Top reviews from other countries
I am overall pleased with the package content. The map describing the path and time (per city) is made from extra-heavy and glossy paper (close to carton actually). There is also a very well made multi-pages booklet explaining the science behind eclipses.
The 4 carton "glasses" are exactly what you expect. The additional plastic-frame glasses are welcome as they are slightly more comfortable to wear. The camera lens filter (carton-made with larger sun filter to accommodate a camera lens) is also going to be very handy.
I tested all the material during a fully clear morning sky and everything is providing a secure sun-watching experience - thanks to the Celestron reputation and the USA made filter. Please note that the filters yield a slightly orange tint. This is voluntarily according to Celestron and designed to provide a more natural and comfortable viewing experience. I do confirm!
The last total eclipse of the century (viewable in North America) is coming April 8th 2023.
PROTECT YOUR EYES ADEQUATELY - ONLY BUY CERTIFIED VIEWING MATERIAL
But the booklet is awesome, it tell us the best locations, map. time and the required knowledge about the phenomena.
The price is fair enough in comparaison to known online telescope stores. Furthermore i would trust a filter from celestron than dollar-store to protect my eyes.

Everything feels sturdy and well put together, especially the plastic glasses in the kit. There’s also a microfiber pouch to store the glasses and hang them up, which is another nice touch (not listed in the contents). Altogether, it’s a high quality kit that was clearly put together by someone who is passionate about Eclipses.
