Lists the ones they approve.

B&h is listed and with the shipping is a little over a $1 each for 20, pretty good.

Yes. it's definitely not something to be cheap on... Like the saying goes- Safety First!

Did anyone make a list of airport codes within the flight path to try and find cheap tickets?
Dont want to be doing all that work if its already out there..
AI perhaps?

The question is how to get there by plane

The question is how to get there by plane

The view is better when you're on an air plane?

How to get to Cleveland or anywhere else that has the full eclipse by plane from NYC

[HudZ]

So you won't be able to see the eclipse in NYC?

Looks like Montreal will get a 99.99% eclipse

Worthless. Totality or bust.

Drive an hour..

It says certified, I hope i can trust it...

I would rather be safe and buy the ones made in USA. Too much to risk...

[AJK]

Even less. 30 mins south and you get essentially same totality as Buffalo or Cleveland.

Where do you get 4 minutes of totality within 30 mins of Montreal?

Worth noting that during totality, there is no need for any eye protection.

this is the best eclipse map. click anywhere on it to see eclipse times (totality is from C2 until C3). click on the google logo on the bottom left to take you to a regular google map page for navigation etc.

please note that the time is in GMT unless you click on the clock on the left of the screen (under the yellow street view man)

(and yes that is DFW)

A tl;dw of the points discussed with the doctor. He has an app for the eclipse
https://goo.gl/wZ5Uyz

Temperature gets cooler in the ground first.
Tells you how to make a pinhole projector
Tells you to get safe glasses
Shadows that are parallel to the crescent are sharp. While shadows that are perpendicular are fuzzy
As well as round holes the sunlight going through them will be crescent shaped.
Air from hills will cool down and roll down towards you creating a slightly chilly wind. If there are hils getting blocked sunlight first.
Certain types of clouds will disappear.
Animals will behave differently. Crickets will chirp. Birds will be going back to their nests. Bees will get confused and wait until it's over. Chickens also something like that.
The color of things will change
There will be these weird shadows that look like they are moving on the ground. Especially visible right after the sun comes back out.
