[Andrew Cooper <acooper@xxxxxxxxx>]

I took a welding filter to work to allow some quick eclipse viewing.  We 
had a much more noticable bite out of the side of the Sun here in 
Tucson.  Ended up sharing the filter with several coworkers who did 
appreciate the event despite its bring a fairly minor eclipse.

For the last decent partial eclipse I had setup a scope with a white 
light filter at work for about 45minutes and had a good chunk of the 
company viewing during the event.
