cheap alternative to looking thru something.
Heck, half of a pencil point through a 1ft square of cardboard works. Woodlands, or even the shade of a tree, are really trippy with the little crescent-suns projected everywhere.

Our ship's room keys back in '91 for the big Hawaii-Brazil eclipse were the physical "punch-card" things. As in, holes in a pattern on a piece of plastic. Waiting for totality, we'd amuse ourselves by projecting little "suns" onto everything. (ok, we were 15-16yo)
