There were literally a few seconds at sunrise this morning when the clouds stayed off long enough for me to catch this partial eclipse of the sun by the moon from a hilltop in Leicester, UK, at around 8.30.
It clouded over completely within ten minutes – and is now snowing. Fewer clouds would have been nice, but I consider myself lucky all the same. The limb of the moon is clearly visible. Following pics in chronological order.

Leicester University got a similar view: see here.
And some really nice pics from further afield in the Telegraph here.

Good one, Tim.
