LOOKING AT THE SUN

Yesterday I dropped my son's solar filter for his telescope. After it fell and I realized what I had done I suddenly had a flash of the $98 price tag! My system had that shocked feeling you get when something startles you. Then as my son was looking for something bright to shine through the filter to look for pinholes, I glanced at the sun thinking that was certainly something bright. Now, besides having that shocked feeling I was also seeing spots in front of my eyes. The combination sent me into a panic that I may be getting a migraine. Fortunately, after I closed my eyes for a few minutes my body calmed down and my vision cleared. Phew! Such a nice feeling to NOT get a migraine after worrying that your were getting a migraine!
