[OM] Solar eclipse advice

At sundown today their will be a partial solar eclipse and Houston will be 
one of the areas where it can best be seen.  As a guy with a camera, I almost 
feel obligated to try to capture the event.  I would be interested in 
opinions on how to safely capture it.  My initial idea (keeping in mind I 
don't want to fry my eye) was to use the 200mm f4 with ISO 200 film and stack 
some combination of a graduated ND, Polarizer & ND 4. Plan is to focus on 
infinity and then wait for the sun to get where I want it to be and minimize 
my looking thru the camera when the sun is actually in the picture.  Any 
thoughts?  Bill Barber
