Yes!!!!!!! I saw it just minutes ago. It looks like a transit of Venus. As a test (without telling him where it was) my work colleague saw his first ever sunspot, and he saw it in the same place as me. Thanks Stephen for the glasses :) it might be my only view of this monster I get.

Hello Stephen. These "glasses" were left over from the 1999 total eclipse. We purchased 2000 for the Astronomy Centre to distribute to the public. :)
