Coronal rays
This highly enhanced image of the solar corona shows polar rays up to 7 solar radii. The enhancement
of extremely faint structures in the images was possible thanks to precise work of Constantinos
Emmanouilidis who sent us excellent data without any defects. He cleaned the camera sensors by himself
so perfectly that there was no single defect caused by dust particles on the chip! The used optics was
without any detectable reflections.

Total eclipse duration 2 m 18 s |
| Place | Russia, Novosibirsk, Akademgorodok, near hotel Zolotaya Dolina |
| Coordinate | E83°05'44", N54°50'31", alt. 156 m |
| Conditions | Excellent - clear sky, altitude of the Sun above the horizon 30° |
| Optics | Takahashi FS60C with field flattener, focal length 373mm, f6.2 |
| Camera | Canon 350D modified with Baader filter (ISO 100) |
| Exposure | 1/30 s - 6 s |
| Processing | Composition of 31 images. Eclipse images calibrated by means of dark frames and flat-fields, aligned by means of phase correlation, composed by means of LDIC 5.0 software, processed using Corona 4.1 in order to visualize coronal structures. Final processing was done using ACC 6.1 software.
