The local astronomy club had telescopes set up at Lake Monroe for public use during the event, but I made my own viewer with a pair of binoculars, cereal box, piece of abandoned foam core, and temporary prop. I got some fantastic projected images despite the fact my sunshield said “Cheerios” on one side.
