Use certified solar filters for viewing and photography. Regular sunglasses are not enough. If you do not have certified eye protection, avoid direct viewing altogether.
– Never look directly at the Sun during the eclipse without certified eclipse glasses or a proper solar viewer.
– Do not use regular sunglasses, smoked glass, CDs, or improvised filters. They are not safe.
– Do not view the Sun through a camera, phone, binoculars, telescope, or spotting scope without a proper solar filter mounted in front of the optics.
– Protect camera sensors and phone cameras with a suitable solar filter if you plan to photograph the eclipse.
– Do not point cameras at the Sun for long periods without protection, especially with telephoto lenses.
– Keep eclipse glasses on at all times during a partial eclipse. Remove them only during totality, and only if you are in the path of totality.
– For Madeira’s partial eclipse, there is no safe moment to view the Sun with the naked eye without protection.
– Supervise children closely and make sure everyone uses the correct protection.
– If you are unsure about your equipment or glasses, avoid direct viewing and use indirect projection methods instead.
