Is it safe to observe the sun's Corona during the 2-3 minute period of totality through an 8" telescope without any filters? What about 7x50 binos?
Thanks!
Unfiltered magnification during totality?

Yes, it is, just be VERY careful to stop viewing through the scope or binoculars well before totality ends.
