wow that reminds me of the time I looked at the sun thru a small filter of the same type when I was about 19 yrs old. I looked at the sun thru a 60mm refractor for about a minute and I just stopped. luckily the glass didnt break from the heat or i wouldnt have ANY vision in my right eye. I know there might have been harmful rays that I prob had entering my eye , but my vision is still excellent in my right eye and I am 42 now. I wish they never sold these to people because someone might not be as lucky as I and look for an extended period until it shatters from the heat.
