Comment Binoculars (Score 1) 211

I had eclipse goggles at hand, but should I have trusted Amazon's procurement procedures?
Instead, I placed my binoculars over my head - fat end toward the sun - small end toward the ground - and aimed the lunar/solar image onto my shadow that was cast on my patio.

However, next eclipse, I'll still use my binoculars.
