I purchased a 30 pack of eclipse glasses (at about $8 a pair) and kept 3 for my family and made a FB post to share the remainder with my friends. I delivered the last pair today.
My son will be traveling to a location about 50 mile away that is in a 100% coverage area.
I'll be staying local in a 99.7% coverage area and using a pair of those glasses to watch.
I'm still waiting on the solar filter for my telescope to come in so I can set it up. I really need to get some exposure with it before the big event so hoping it comes in soon. .but it seems that now everybody and their brother/sister/uncle/aunt/whatever cousin is buying the stuff up.
If you are in the region to view this event.... what are your plans?
If I can get my telescope filter in, I plan on doing EAA and projecting the image on a screen via a projector with my current setup at a local community center.
