Corona up to 8 solar radii
This unique eclipse image shows a huge CME propagating through the solar corona and
Kreutz family comet shortly before it disintegrated near
reaching perihelium. The full resolution version of this image you may download
here. This image is oriented so that the solar
North is roughly on the top. If you prefer the orientation as it was visible in the sky download
this image version.

| Time | 2nd contact 16:07:59 UT, 3rd contact 16:10:04 UT |
| Place | Fortin Nogueira, Neuquen, Argentina |
| Coordinate | S 39° 57.680', W 69° 59.576', Alt. 485 m |
| Conditions | Clear sky for 85 s of totality otherwise thin clouds
Solar altitude at mid-eclipse 72.4° above horizon |
| Optics | Nikkor 80-400mm 1:4.5-5.6G ED VR (set to FL 400 mm, F5.6) |
| Camera | Nikon Z6 |
| Exposure | 1/640 s - 3 s, ISO 100 |
| Processing | Composition of 55 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.
