For anyone planning to watch the eclipse on August 12th, PLEASE REMEMBER:
Do not look directly at the sun unless you are using approved eclipse glasses. Normal sunglasses are NOT sufficient.
NEVER EVER look at the sun via a telescope or binoculars, unless you are using an approved solar filter. IT WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU SEE.
I know it's dramatic, but you WILL go blind, permanently, if you do not take proper precautions.
It's safer to project the image onto white card and watch it on that.
