Composition of airborne images and SOHO LASCO C2 / EIT 19.5 nm

SOHO EIT 19.5 nm images (Fe XII) are very similar (from the structure point of view) to visible light images taken during eclipse. Therefore it makes sense to merge visible light images with SOHO EIT 19.5 nm image to visualize the part of corona hidden by the Moon. It improves the 3D understanding of the coronal structures.

ProcessingComposition of 51 airborne images, one SOHO LASCO C2 image and one SOHO EIT 19.5 nm image (Fe XII). Airborne images and SOHO LASCO C2 image were aligned by means of phase correlation, composed in one image using a special program written only for this particular purpose and processed by means of Corona 3.0. The alignment with SOHO EIT image and final processing was done by means of ACC 6.0 software.
