i can tell you by my own experience after photographing the sunset for three years in a row that if there's a "safe" moment to directly look at the sun it is 5 to 10 minutes before sunset. 1 hour before can definitively burn your retina. That's how I almost burned mine, and it was not even 30 minutes before Sunset.

I downvoted because it is not a sound advice to give specially with 10k followers.

No hard feelings :)
