I need some opinions, re: the Venus Transit [View All]

So.. I want to look at the Venus transit, obviously... if it's clear I'll catch the tail end of it here in south Florida.

I have a telescope, and binoculars... all that I am lacking is some kind of filter...

Enter the shipping department of my job. They have these static bags that they pack electronics in... they are a really dark film, and I notice the mroe layers you stack on the darker it gets..

I thought about expirimenting with a bunch of layers and remove them one at a time until I can see clearly but it's not too bright...

(4 or 5 layers or so seems to black out almost ALL light)

I don't want to burn my retunas out.. but this seems to be some kind of mylar film which is what they make the fileters of anyway.. (it's semi-reflective)..

I could cut that stuff to shape and use it however I wanted to.. it's be pretty sweet.
