I'm not the person to go to on this but you could try creating and artificial one with some special effect software (After Effects/FxHome) or photoshop. Heres a tutorial (http://www.webdesign.org/web/photoshop/special-effects/creating-a-solar-eclipse-in-galaxy-effect.13635.html) I found on how to do an image in photoshop, which is a start but you'd have to keyframe it create a moving one...

You might be able to fake it. If you film the bottom of a bare light bulb (the sun) and slowly block it with a tennis ball (the moon). You'd have to film dead on to the side of the bulb opposite where it screws into the socket, and you'd have to play around a bit with your camera settings to get the effect right.

I might be able to make you something in after effects. Give me a few days to mess around with it and I'll pm you my result.
What aspect ratio do you want?
