Prepare a pair of shades and watch the solar eclipse is more fun. please do not look directly at the sun even with shades. or even worse look through a telescope or SLR camera. nowadays you just need a camera hp or videocam with rotating screen or lens to watch it safely just refrain from watching it directly with your naked eye. (or the galactic dog will swoop down and scratch your eyes ) but 9am leh... i think i'll still be sleeping then. haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will prepare some galactic doggy snacks like mooncake & sunbiscuits to distract it. I'm not watching a solar eclipse for the first time but thanks for the tip anyway. I usually watch it behind a welding mask. Its lens tinting is very suited for such events. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU have a WELDING MASK?!?!?! nice, i think that is the safest way. even if the sun blows up into a million bits and the sparks start flying at your face you can just stand and watch. hmmm... mooncake & sunbiscuits... mooncake festival coming soon right? mmmm... hungry you make me.
