Solar Eclipse?

Lights from ... the Moon

Taken from France at prime focus of a newtonian telescope...
As a matter of fact, this is just an illusion of the Crescent Moon (with Earthshine) naturally caused by haze !
I deliberately overexposed the moon in order to give this strange dazzling effect which could remind us a solar eclipse.
This is the only positive aspect of haze / fog in astronomy!
