OK to View Sun With Solar Eclipse Glasses?

Posted By Matthew Maness

I had some solar eclipse shades, and i looked at the sun with no problem. Ive never taken a solor filter for a telescope and held it up to the sun though. I cut the shades apart and put it infront of my teleconverter for my camera, coupled with a 300mm lens, effectivly making it a 600mm lens, and it melted a big hole in the middle. So dont try to magnify the sun with them, haha!
