For those of you thinking about driving hundreds of miles to see it, just imagine doing that, and then getting socked in by clouds. And then having to drive back home afterwards.
My limit if I wasn't in a prime viewing spot would probably be 100 miles or so, but I wouldn't do it unless the weather was certain.
I'm trying to find out if there's anything you can put over the large end of a pair of binoculars and look at it safely. Anyone know?

Were driving at a minimum 600 miles to SC up to 1200 if we decide to go to Nebraska. My wife and I like to travel so we will make a few day trip out of this. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, if not we will some of the country we hadn't prior.
There are special viewing glasses you can purchase. There are special polarized lenses you can purchase for a camera. something similar may be available or adaptable for Binoculars. I have heard some people will use a welders mask to view so maybe that can be rigged as well.
I used to love watching On the Road with Charles Kuralt Sunday morning.
