And the Sun was eclipsed by the Moon

From 03:24 p.m. today, if you live in Jakarta you will be able to observe the moon aligning with the middle of the sun, then at 4:45 p.m. about 92 percent of the sun's rays will be covered by the moon's mass.

The resulting ring surrounding the moon will last for around six minutes. By 5:50 p.m. the eclipse will be complete.


However, I would not really bother about it too much as judging by the weather forecast it's unlikely that we will see anything anway....

Edit...the clouds were not as bad as predicted, but, still not perfect. I ran about 10-12 shots off and managed to get this one which was still not great..
