What did the January 4th, 2010 eclipse look like?

Borek · Jan 4, 2011

I have already posted the picture in the photography thread, but I will add another here:

Partial solar eclipse seen through clouds: a bright crescent-shaped Sun against a dark grey overcast sky, with the dark Moon covering most of the disc.

Photograph of a partial solar eclipse seen through thin clouds, the sun visible as a bright crescent against a grey, cloudy sky.

It was cloudy (still is, and the eclipse didn't end yet) which helped, as without clouds I doubt I could take the picture. EOS and long lens, pictures are slightly cropped (so the angular size of the Sun is a little bit different).

Dots on the first picture look like a dirt, no idea what they are as they are not visible on the second one.

and these are my images of eclipse - 45% - Iran

Partially eclipsed sun seen through thin clouds in a dark sky, with a bright crescent of light and starburst rays around it.
