Probably too small unless you have exceptional vision. However, binoculars with solar filters work fine. That is what I used last time. I was working so I packed my 15x70 binoculars and solar filters in the car and headed out of the office every now and again (near the start, a few times in the middle and near the end) to have a look. I tried showing a few other people but none of them could get the hang of aiming the binoculars with the filters on (they needed a background they could see to zero in on the target, aiming the binoculars correctly straight off or slowly panning around are obviously concepts that require a little practise or a better teacher than me).
