Solar eclipse seen from Rugby

Well we didn't have much joy with today's solar eclipse but Mark Edwards was very lucky and sent us this brilliant picture taken just after sunrise. He took it from the hill at King's Newnham just west of Rugby as the skies cleared just at the right moment. Five minutes later the cloud descended and that was it. But by then he'd got this great shot.

UPDATE Later Mark sent us a series of still images which we used and sent to the Stargazing Live team. Here's Professor Brian Cox discussing them with Dara O Briain on last night's show.
