A hybrid total and annular solar eclipse graced the eastern hemisphere on November 3, visible across much of Europe, Africa, and western Asia; the very beginning of the eclipse was visible in the early morning in eastern North America, however, so I went out to an open field east of Fredericksburg with a clear eastern horizon to try to catch it.  A more dramatic view from Florida shows the Sun amid clouds; I should have tried to image it with no filter too!

What we are seeing here, since it is early morning, is that the Moon has already passed over the Sun from our vantage point, and the first bit of eclipse that anyone on Earth sees is the last part of the Moon departing the Sun's disk right at sunrise.  So as the Sun continued to rise in the sky, the Moon moved further toward the horizon and quickly departed the Sun's disk.
