It is not only that they were sun-glasses as often, but some of
us have sunglasses, which look like those Jake and Elwood
used :-)
BTW, these 'Blues-Brothers-type' sunglasses have been very good
for atmospheric observing. These are dark enough and filtering
is about neutral.
Another point of filtering. Finnish halo photographers have
invented a solar filter. There is a rod of 50 cm lenght. Eg.
radio antenna. Another end of the rod could fixed into the
camera and at the another end there is a piece welder's filter.
When you photograph halos, you can get a faint image of the Sun,
which can be used in measuring halos.
