Tokyo had 70% of total. I think the fact that it was cloudy adds to an other-worldly atmosphere.

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?
