This Lunt SUNocular 8x32 review comes as North America is about to welcome not one but two solar eclipses. On October 14, 2023, a so-called ‘ring of fire’ annular solar eclipse will move through eight U.S. states from Oregon through Texas. It’s essentially a pretty partial solar eclipse for which solar eclipse filters are needed the entire time. Then on April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will strike Mexico, the U.S. and Canada.
Anyone in the narrow path of totality will have a chance to see the eclipsed sun naked-eye for a few minutes as it goes dark during the day. However, most of the time during a solar eclipse, the action is the moon moving across the disk of the sun, something which is dangerous to look at unless you have something like the Lunt SUNocular 8x32 in front of your eyes.
