My second choice is American Paper Products. See the links below.\u00a0 High Point Scientific is a reliable company dealing in science related products. B&amp;H and Adorama are a big, reliable photography stores in New York and they are two of my favorite online photo dealers. If B&amp;H is out of Celestron viewers they will offer a viewer from American Paper Products. It is a high quality product too.\u00a0 Celestron and American Paper Products are both highly recommended by the American Astronomical Society.<\/p>\n<p>B&amp;H still has Celestron solar binoculars which are great for viewing.<\/p>\n<p>WARNING: Do NOT buy any eclipse products at Amazon! A few weeks ago it was safe, but with the recent flood of fake and unsafe eclipse products coming out of China, it is not possible to vet all the dealers that sell products on Amazon, or where those dealers bought their eclipse products. Dealers may unknowingly be buying fake Chinese products from intermediate dealers and selling them on or through Amazon. Stick with High Point Scientific, B&amp;H Photo, and Adorama.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article Link<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"x1fey0fg xmper1u x1edh9d7\" href=\"https:\/\/aas.org\/press\/american-astronomical-society-warns-counterfeit-fake-eclipse-glasses\">https:\/\/aas.org\/press\/american-astronomical-society-warns-counterfeit-fake-eclipse-glasses<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchase Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.celestron.com\/products\/eclipsmart-solar-eclipse-glasses\">Celestron Eclipse Glasses at Celestron<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highpointscientific.com\/celestron-eclipsmart-solar-eclipse-glasses\">Celestron Eclipse Glasses at High Point Scientific<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/buy\/solar-eclipse-glasses-accessories\/ci\/32948\">Celestron Eclipse Glasses at B&amp;H Photo<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1284464-REG\/celestron_71237_eclipsmart_10x25_solar_binoculars.html\">Celestron Solar Binoculars at B&amp;H Photo<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/apoeclipse.html\">American Paper Products Eclipse Glasses at Adorama<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read this AAS article at the first link below.
