Hi Margaret, You might look for solar films instead of pre-made filters.  I did this for the 2017 eclipse when I couldn't find an appropriately sized filter and ended up crafting my own filter cover.  I'm not sure what brand I used at the time, but these can be found at photo stores such as B&H Photo.

Thanks, Diana. I've got 2 of these on order for cameras, but my binoculars don't have long tubes to put these on.-- Margaret

Does any one know how to find slip-on find a solar filter for my Canon 12x36IS binoculars? I picture a cardboard frame of about 5 14" x 2 3/4" or 13.3 mm x 6.5 mm with the mylar all across. Thanks!

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
