The event will be visible from where I live (central New York state), but I want to get a better vantage point for this very rare event. The latter part of the transit will be visible from the eastern U.S. coast. But what locations will have best odds for weather as well as a clear eastern horizon? I would imagine any spot with an ocean view would have a clear horizon. Another factor would be the ability to set up during the night without concerns of harassment or distraction.
