Solar eclipse from not so sunny Somerset

In between cloud, light showers and the plumber arriving (just a small job) I managed a few images. As usual the very beginning was clouded out completely, along with a shower. I grabbed some approacing maximum then the cloud obliterated everything again. Towards the end I got very excited to see sunshine, rushed into the kitchen and...........rain............
Everything I did get was through some cloud. This one, the next to last I took, was probably the most cloud free. Timed at 0948 UT ie 1048 BST
The sunspots are, left to right - 3131, 3130 and 3126. The spot at the top of the 3130 group is showing better than on the solar monitoring images I've seen for today, so it may have developed a bit since they were taken. It's not a dust spot - I did check :LOL:

Great capture Jan :D

I've tried seeing it with a pinhole card but I can't see anything.
 
Excellent image Jan I was trying here in Cornwall but heavy cloud gave me no chance.
 
Excellent!

I managed a few glimpses of it with glasses, but the cloud was so unpredictable I didn't bother with the camera.
 
Lovely work, well done indeed:)
