You can but you won't see a thing. I tried it in '99.
You just saw the sun then?Last full eclipse was 99.
(Unless a whoosh parrot was in the way of course, but as there's no smileys or hint of sarcasm it's hard to tell)
I was stood outside in Essex in 1999, using a welding mask to look at the eclipse. The mask was too dark. I couldn't see anything through it.

Are you sure you didn't have your Kromer on the wrong way around? I was stood outside in Essex in 1999, using a welding mask to look at the eclipse. The mask was too dark. I couldn't see anything through it.
