It was there since the late morning, and is right now (16-8-2003, 15:19) still here (Limburg, Netherlands). Only not as bright and complete as is was here for a phew minutes . Amazing to see that trough sunglases!
My fisheye convertor doesn't have a full 180 degree view, but it's enough to photograph it

I did not do anything with the contrast or so, it was really bright. The photo in the middle is taken at 14:02.
There went people by when I got to an open place (just in time!). I told them to look up. It was very cool te see their reactions
