But if you're on the very edge of totality, your "entire eclipse" would be momentary, wouldn't it? It's not like you would get minutes of half-of-the-moon Bailey's Beads, you'd only get them for the few moments that the moon just covers the sun.
I was so so so happy I got to see the Bailey's Beads as totality was ending. I wanted to see it at the beginning, too, but I was wearing my eclipse glasses so I missed it... Most beautiful thing I've ever seen. That and totality itself, but dayum Bailey's Beads...

The next one will be much easier to see though down here in Texas. I'll wait and see what that one looks like.

I have two extra sets of eclipse glasses I can bring along, and a big sheet of the filter material for anyone else that needs them! CRAFT PROJECT!!!Wait...
What's the weather like in April where you are? Does it tend to be clear or do you get lots of cloud cover?
