To be specific, a No. 14 welding glass (only) is safe. Do not stack
lesser opacities.
If you have a narrow telephoto, like the preset Takumar 200mm f/5.6
(which has a 49mm filter size) you might be able to get by with a
2-1/4 glass (and use a teleconverter).

Transits of Venus occur in pairs with more than a century separating each
pair. They currently recur at intervals of 8, 105.5, 8 and 121.5 years.
Since the invention of the telescope (1610), there have only been six
transits. In contrast, there are 13 transits of Mercury each century. The
