We report preliminary results of the partial eclipse seen from the BIMA millimeter–wavelength interferometer in northern California. The use of an interferometer has many advantages over previous single–dish eclipse observations at 3 mm, and in particular it allows a quite different type of measurement of the height of the “3-mm limb” which is direct and precise: we find it to be 11.9″ ± 0.4″ above the optical limb.
