The timing and location of eclipses makes testing protocols under experimental conditions impossible until eclipse day, and yet such questions are essential to planning and preparations. We present a framework for quantitative assessment of eclipse observation procedures, an analysis of the methods used by one team on April 8, and preliminary steps toward an improved protocol. We also describe eclipse proxies that can be used to test data collection procedures between eclipses — and plan for the next iteration of the Modern Eddington Experiment.
