Maybe this will help, too. If you ever get the chance to see a total solar eclipse do whatever it takes to see it!
I was able to view and capture in pictures the '80 eclipse that occurred in the Pacific NW. Forecast was for cloudy skies but potentially, partial clearing as the wind waves occurred over the Cascade Mts in WA. We got in a car at 3:30AM and started driving through the desolate area of central WA. 20 minutes before totality we saw a break, gave it our best and got to a clearing, setup with just a few minutes to spare. Total was scheduled for 2.5 min but we where lucky to see for about 45 seconds. Even got images of Bailey's Bead on the backside of the eclipse.
Nothing like the experience of Totality.
