The wife and I looked at it through binocs during totality. Really enjoyed the whole thing.

The box I made with a filter window for the binocs was okay, but not really worth the trouble (partly because it was so tough even finding it through 10X50 viewing).

I ditched it and had a piece of film I looked through with my eyeglasses on during the 7 mins. preceding totality and my sweetie had a pair of "glasses" she wore over her eyeglasses. We then traded off the binocs back and forth until totality ended.

Clear skies in our area, but there was a rainstorm about 5 miles to the Southeast... those people missed it.
