Watching the eclipse with your smart phone.

[Thor_MN]

2. The only safe way to watch the eclipse with your smart phone is to stream it.

As in, watch a stream of it from a site where they have the proper filters.

Your phone camera won't be able to see anything, assuming that it doesn't get burned out aimed at the sun too long.

>DURING< totality, after all the bright spots have gone away, you can look at it with your naked eyes, but be aware it is going to last less than two minutes, at best.

I envy you your geographic advantage, I'm in Minnesota and will have to make do with a pinhole view...
