I don't think you can get them like this any more, without a brand label, just clear plastic. I put them shiny side to shiny side. The blue tinted plastic added extra filtering. They were great for viewing the eclipse, in fact I wound up bringing down a couple of extra sets once a crowd gathered on the corner. A few people also had pinhole viewers, and they got passed around as well. An eclipse is a great way to meet folks!
As good as the cds were for viewing, they didn't really work well as camera filters, especially for an older, low-end camera. The sun itself is the bright glare, you can only see the eclipse as "lens artifacts" and reflections, sometimes multiple. Still, they're kind of cool in a way, and they're all I've got, so here they are:
And here is the shadow of a tree showing the arc pattern resulting from the eclipse.

Wow, aren´t you clever! I would never have come up with that idea, there´s not much McGywer in me I think. :-D
That shadow thru the tree is awesome!
