My 16 year old watched eclipse with his science class.

I picked up my 11 year old from school 20 minutes before the top of
the eclipse. We drove home and watched using shade 10 Omni-View
welding lenses with gold colored tint.

It was partly cloudy. Clouds, in fact, helped more than they hurt
because you could photograph the eclipsed sun easily. When the sun was
out, it was great to use shade 10 lenses, overall it was a great
experience.

In my town, the sun was eclipsed approximately by 90 percent. Despite
that, it was not dark, at its worst it was dim, like under a heavy
cloud cover. That dimness was, however, noticeable.

Shade 14 glasses that the school gave my 16 year old, were way too dim
and he could barely see anything.

Overall everyone had a great experience, except the 11 year old got
sick with flu or some such.

Â* We got 92% here in The Holler . I watched a bit off and on , used the
auto-dark helmet set on 13 until it wouldn't stay dark because of the
low light levels . Got the old big lens always dark helmet with the #10
out at the peak and it was perfect .
