Outer corona

This image shows the whole corona in a way very similar to the view in a small telescope. To the contrary to other images on this page, this image has the approximate orientation of original images and must be rotated 230.7° clockwise to achieve standard orientation. The small dot on the top of the image is authentic and it is a star.
