This is what I saw, more or less, in 2017. The noticeable dimming and the crescent dappling was very interesting and eerie. We're in for about a minute of totality this time, though we're also getting predictions of clouds, so maybe no corona. :-(

I did this in 2017 too, but I also used a pair of binoculars to project a clear image on the ground. It was beautiful~

Do you have to buy a filter for the binoculars to do that? I’ve heard pointing binoculars at the sun can burn them out.

Never heard of that myself, but I suppose it'd be good advice for fancy binocs with an integrated digital camera or something. Mine were super-cheap and didn't seem any worse for the wear.
