Sent my wife today for two 4 x 5 shade 14 lenses. They said they were out,

in Toquerville, Utah. My NexGen only goes up to 13. What's up with that?

Will your NexGen activate in sunlight? I found that my cheapo mask
will not. Apparently it's designed not to trigger on a steady light
source and there's no manual trigger.

It's all moot now, I suppose, except that the transit of Venus
is coming soon.

Just something to try...

What if you point it at the Sun and then use something like a sparker
(torch lighter, Bic lighter) to trigger it to go dark. Will it stay dark
then, maybe?
