    5 Stars
    Nice kit....
    I have been through the kit. Pretty nice....maybe a tad bit pricey but it is Celestron so there is quality. The plastic glasses fit nicely, but not over Rx glasses. The camera filter is a hand held....in other words along with other things you have to hold this over the front of your DSLR.I'll order a 58mm for the DSLR and move on.Now, the little filter was easy for the cell phone. I wasn't able to see the Sun on the display but took a WAG and got a nice little shot. Not bad for first try.....will do more....Love the chart that's enclosed....of course I may be biased as it has us nearly dead center of the total zone and for over two minutes. Hope the Wx cooperates.See my first pic attached:Rod

    Compré el paquete de 8 piezas (Solar eclipse observing & imagine kit) trae 4 gafas solares de cartón, 1 gafas de plástico, 1 guia con información en inglés de los eclipses del 14 de oct 23 y 08 abril 2024 y 1 mapa de la ruta del eclipse. Vendido por amazon EUA y enviado por amazon Mex, me costaron aprox 900 pesos (Vendido y enviado por amazon mx esta más barato). Los recomiendo , la marca Celestron valen mucho la pena, los comparé con otros que habia comprado por amazon a un tercero de la marca Helioclipse que son chinos y que supuestamente cumplen con la norma ISSO y aprobados por la NASA ( la caja se veia sospechosa sin ninguna leyenda de certificación, con los lentes se veia más claro el sol y eso es peligroso). En cambio, la marca celestron son certificados, son mas obscuros y se nota la calidad del filtro que tienen. Los recomiendo.

    Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2024
    The map and the booklet are a very nice touch. It contains everything I need to know about the upcoming Eclipse on April 8th 2024, along with safety information and facts about Eclipses in general. The educational materials are awesome and every page has cool pictures.

    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.
