Notice for anyone seeking solar eclipse glasses

Unfortunately, all solar eclipse glasses being sold by the PAA and retailers who stocked eclipse glasses from the PAA are SOLD OUT. Anyone looking for eclipse glasses should seek them from one of our telescope retail sponsors (see Sponsors list below) or look for glasses that adhere to the ISO 12312-2 standard. Only glasses that meet this standard are safe for use in a solar eclipse.
