How do you plan to watch? What kind of filters?

We'll be watching at my school if it's not cloudy (the weather doesn't look good for the northeast US). We don't have anything fancy, just an 8" Schmidt-Cass with a solar filter. If we do get clouded/rained out, then we'll be watching a webcast, projected on the planetarium dome.

I'll be watching. Either by tuning in to a webcast or I'm trying to talk one of my co-workers into bringing his very nice telescope (and solar filters) into work.

Very cool. Don't have a telescope or a filter, so I guess I will only see news pictures.

I would do, but I live in the UK and the Sun will set here before the transit begins.

I'll use eyepiece projection onto a screen. Or just look on the various internet pages that will have it live.

Cool, thanks for the heads-up. I'll be watching from the McNath-Pierce solar telescope. Good timing.
