This morning there was a solar eclipse, not quite a total eclipse here in North East Scotland, but the nearest to totality that I can remember having seen.
To get a better view, despite the miserable weather...

This picture was taken around the time of maximum eclipse.
I set up a makeshift viewing screen on a home made reflecting telescope...

And through the breaks in the cloud I was able to get a reasonable view of the event.

After that the sky was completely obscured by cloud.
