Correct me if I'm wrong here, but these flights will have a difficult time seeing the eclipse due to the windows and how high up in the sky the sun will be.

Even for a given model of eclipse glasses, there are dozens of sellers on Amazon.
For example, see this listing for glasses by American Paper Optics (one of the manufacturers recommended by NASA, see my post #185 above): https://www.amazon.com/Eclipse-Glass...dp/B01M2WDBQU/ And unfortunately, it turns out that at least some of those 28 sellers are pushing counterfeit, or improperly packaged/damaged, or otherwise suspect merchandise. :( |
transportation from Portland?
my original plans to get to the path of totality from portland have fallen thru - does anyone know of companies providing transportation e.g. to the willamette valley (or anywhere to get to 100%)? TIA!

Good luck with that. I-5 and 99E are going to be absurd.

According to one page:
Do not look at the Sun through a camera, a telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while using your eclipse glasses or handheld solar viewer — the concentrated solar rays will damage the filter and enter your eye(s), causing serious injury. Good advice? If so, no pictures of partial eclipse (C1, C3)? |

Will a neutral density filter work alright? I'd be focusing in live view.

I only have a smartphone camera. I see conflicting opinions on whether that's safe for taking photos as is (without filter). There are two issues: 1) is it safe for the camera lens? 2) is it safe for your eyes?
Anyone want to weigh in? |
It's perfectly safe for your eyes provided you don't look directly at the sun without glasses. You should probably switch it to the front camera (as if you were taking a selfie) so you're safely facing away from the sun.
I would guess it's safe for the camera lens but that's purely a guess. |
people take sunset photos every day and do no damage to their camera lenses. this is no different. ;)
