I'll post more later tonight. Have neighbors coming over to view.
Tip: Use shadows on the ground to line up. Try to reduce the shadow of the object and at that point look through the viewer and you're lined up. Can't look at sun doing it, so this is the way to do it.
Binoculars. Very good view. Can't leave in sun long or will damage:

Tube viewer:

And what it looks like:

Box viewer hard to picture, but sharp small image. It looks round due to the focus. In reality you can see the eclipse.

The big viewer we created has too much light getting in. Sticking head in box might have been better. |
