what is possible to see using those type of glasses except the solar disk ?
Best answer:
Answer by VansigBaily's beads, or the diamond ring effect, and maybe planetary transits.
i used a similar thing to view the eclipse of 26 Feb 1979, which was partial from my location on a ski hill in central Ontario.
i used a pair of linearly polarized filters, at an angle near 90°. at the time, i did not see any sunspots, but who knows?

This video shows the areas which cann expect to see the penumbral (partial) and unbral (total) parts of this eclipse. Unfortunately, many of them are over water, but not all of them. However, many regions will experience a partial solar eclipse, among them Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, The southern Pacific Ocean, Antartica, and central Chile North up to Santiago IMPORTANT: (in South America the eclipse will occur LATE ON NOVEMBER 13, In Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia it will occur EARLY ON NOVEMBER 14, so make sure you do not confuse the dates accidentally. Believe me, it is not as hard to do as you may think. Take it from someone who confused the date of the Venus transit and missed it) Cairns Australia is about the only sizable city which will experience totality, so if you live there, consider yourself lucky and DO NOT OVERSLEEP because totality will begin shortly after the sun rises. Detailed statistics I pulled from the wiki page: Nature Total Gamma -0.3719 Magnitude 1.05 Maximum eclipse: Duration 4m 2s Coordinates 40S 161.3W Max. width of band 179 km Times (UTC): (P1) Partial begin 19:37:58 (U1) Total begin 20:35:08 Greatest eclipse 22:12:55 (U4) Total end 23:48:24 (P4) Partial end 0:45:34 References: Saros 133 (45 of 72) Catalog # (SE5000) 9536 ALL INFORMATION WAS RETRIEVED FROM: en.wikipedia.org I OWN NOTHING
