Entire solar corona visible from observing place
The image shows the entire solar corona that was visible from the given observing location.
Therefore, the black area occulted by the Moon is not a circle, but the intersection of two circles.
The prominences and chromosphere are visible as they appeared immediately after C2 and simultaneously
immediately before C3.

| Place | Padilla de Abajo, Spain |
| Coordinate | N 42° 24.324', W 4° 10.590', Alt. 800 m |
| Conditions | Clear sky, solar altitude only 8.7° above the horizon |
| Optics | Maksutov-Cassegrain 3M-6A_500/F6.3 |
| Camera | Nikon Z5 II |
| Exposure | 1/250 s - 1 s, ISO 100 |
| Processing | Composition of 244 eclipse images. Eclipse images were calibrated by means of dark frames and flat-fields, aligned by means of phase correlation, composed by means of LDIC 6.0 software, processed using Corona 6.0 in order to visualize coronal structures. Final processing was done using ACC 6.1 software.
