If your serious about Solar Eclipses

[argentus]

I would download a map if I could  that showed the "nope" zone of the eclipse.   Apart from the path of totality, we will experience a fraction of eclipse.   For example, here in the Cayman Islands, we'll get 27% eclipse, which means that unless we are using approved solar shades, we won't be able to see it.   I am hoping to take a photo of Mercury during this period.
