So, you're headed out to watch the eclipse? Smart move! - a total eclipse is the coolest thing you're
likely to ever see in your whole life! Make sure you are IN THE PATH!(Our eclipse2017.org app will help with that!) If this is your first eclipse, then you will of course want to know where to go to watch it, as well as to get an idea of what you will see. You will also want to be prepared with eye protection - for the partial phases! After you get this info, though, you will want to make sure you have everything ready to go for Eclipse
Day! Here is a short list: Get the app! Sunscreen White Towels Hat Small tables / chairs Extra batteries Cell phone charger (solar?) Blanket Sunglasses Duct Tape Eclipse Viewing Glasses Electrical Tape Water Eye patch If you have prepared any type of routine for photography or videos, please make sure you've planned
it and practised many times. Lots of things happen during totality that will make you forget
everything you've planned - so practice! And change all your batteries about 10 minutes before C2;
then, you shouldn't have any problems! DO NOT BRING Your pets (Or your kids, if they tend to act like pets!) DO NOT BRING a white flashlight Red is most likely OK, but you should not be looking anywhere during totality except at the sun! DO NOT BRING Homemade solar filters Nothing you make yourself will be OK - you must have solar viewing glasses (or other approved SOLAR FILTER) that states "SAFE FOR DIRECT SOLAR VIEWING"! |
