Solar Eclipse Viewing

directly, through a telescope

>>9051253
only way right here

OP viewed the 2012 transit of Venus using a small mirror that he taped all up except a small square area about 0.5cm on a side. He reflected sunlight onto the side of his house, and was able to watch a little black dot walk across the sun. In effect I made a huge camera obscura.

I ain't gonna be around a building this year, so I need a different method.

Please share how you are going to view the eclipse, from shoe boxes to state-of-the-art telescopes.

Using a telescope to project the solar disk onto a screen while the eclipse is partial, directly during the two minutes of totality we're getting.

Protip: if there are some leafy trees near you, watch below every little gap in the leaves acts as a pinhole camera and projects the crescent sun onto the ground during the partial phase.

What happened to people in the past who viewed eclipses without protective glasses? Wouldn't it have affected thousands or even millions?
