As am I. Around 6:00 Mountain Standard Time here, it'll happen I believe. I don't have any special protection though

"Pinhole camera"

take a piece of paper, or cardboard for a "deluxe" version. Poke a hole in the center, then hold or stabalize the paper (or cardboard) so that the shadow cast contails a dot of light through the hole. The further from the surface the paper is, the larger the dor of light will be. As the eclipse happens, you can safely watch it through by watching the shadow and dot of light.

It works.

Ah, but have you tried it?

Sure have, back in grade school, and since. the last full eclipsed I watched was at a private planetorium / observatory. AMAZING. But, tonight I will be using a pinhole camera.

The instructions are on that Space.com site, as well.

I've been going to http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html since 1995 or 1996 and each day they have a new image. Also, a lot of good Hubble images!
