I have this Thorp & Martin eclipse viewer booklet from the 1925 Boston eclipse. I was hoping to use it to view tomorrow’s 70% eclipse in Tokyo – the first solar eclipse here in 46 years! But I can’t contact Thorp & Martin, and somebody else thinks the viewer provides no protection. Can I look at the LCD of my digital camera while taking a photo of the eclipse?
