Yes, I think the dawns early light will wash it our for us. Also, I think they said 10"+ on the scope size as a starting point. Here was an interesting chart NASA put out regarding the event size in relation to various scope and eyepiece configurations - http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/386933main_Scope_views.pdf
We'll have to keep out eyes out for a live video feed from someone out west.
