No, I'm not using binoculars to LOOK at the sun. I'll be using them to project the image of the eclipse onto a white screen at ground level. From my boating days I have a pair of 7 x 50s of pretty good quality and a pair of 10 x 42s. They will be mounted on a tripod with the image focused downwards onto a white piece of cardboard for the screen. I'm not sure which pair would be better to use for the eclipse. I remember the Fujinon 7 x 50s were of better quality when new so I assume the image will be clearer.
Anybody with knowledge in optics to comment?
The binoculars will be fixed to the aluminum plate on top of the tripod in the picture. https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/binoculars-telescope-projector.html
