Picture of solar eclipse January 15, 2010

It is somewhat off topic, but I wanted to share with you a picture of the eclipse as I observed it from Pune India at around 1.30pm. The picture also features some leaves of a tree and some clouds (thanks to which I could take the picture without the need of a filter). While the eclipse was to be seen as a full eclipse in southern India, it showed here up to approximately 40 % (rough guess).

BTW: a solar eclipse of this duration is said to occur only once every 1000 years or so.
