Hi *crazy, I suggest you buy some solar film n cover one of the bino's objective lens' with it. Use the binos cap/cover to block off the other objective. Use a sheet of off white paper taped to a stiff cardboard sheet as your viewing area. Place on your tripod & position the viewing sheet on a chair or ???
I found this works very well. Cheap too.
I made one for the last solar eclipse & had most of the visitors lining up to take pics off/of it.
HTH... L.
