Solar film seems still to be available from www.astro-physics.com at $37 per
letter-size sheet (shipping extra). It's the Baader product, not Thousand
Oaks (which is back-ordered on Amazon.com), so the image is neutral rather
than orange. It's what I used in 2006 for the images posted yesterday (and
sorry for the error in the first link I posted). You will need card,
scissors and glue to make up a mount, but I am pretty sure you will find
them in good time.
As to what to expect being off-path, my 2015 images on Zone-10
http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=16680 were slightly further
off-path than you will be at York, so you should be able to get just as
good, probably marginally more impressive BUT the experience of a partial
eclipse is nothing like that from a total eclipse, because it remains
daylight.

We are slightly off the path of total eclipse but it should be impressive
here in York, SC. I've got glasses and a telescope with a solar filter
coming from B&H. I'm not sure how I'll take photos. I have lots of dark
filters but the actual solar filters are sold out everywhere and way too
expensive. I may just watch.
