Outer Corona Structure - SOHO LASCO C2, C3 Composite

SOHO LASCO C3 coronograph makes possible to extend ground based image composed with SOHO LASCO C2 image up to 30 solar radii. Ground based image and both original SOHO images were processed by means of Corona 2.0 software before they were merged into one resulting image. The bright extremely overexposed object in the right part of the image is Jupiter.
