Telescopes and binoculars project images of the Sun on a flat surface, similar to a pinhole camera. Special Eclipse glasses are available to purchase from the Fleet's North Star Science Store. If you wish to observe through a telescope, you need a solar filter and cannot use your typical spotting scope to align.
