About this image

This has got to be the most bonkers image I've ever taken! The clouds rolled in so I extended the exposure time to 300 seconds and it recorded the solar eclipse through the clouds. Intriguingly, the exposure seems to be long enough to actually show the motion of the Moon, although I'm wondering if this movement is some other effect.
