Today I made a solar disc "projector" out of a pair of cheap binoculars,
a couple of pieces of cardboard, a tripod and a music stand. All stuff
I had lying around the house. This should cover the partial phase of
the eclipse next week. I am not going to make any serious effort to
photograph totality. I know myself. If I start messing with the
camera, I'll miss a good portion of the totality trying to photograph
it. I'd rather experience the wonder and look at the photos of
better-equipped folks afterwards.
Here's my setup.

Sun-side view. You can just see a piece of the solar disc at far right:

A better view of the projection. The solar disc is partially "eclipsed"
by my neighbor's Douglas Fir tree.
