High resolution image of inner corona

This high-resolution image shows not only the inner corona in the delicate details but surprisingly the lunar surface is recorded in the quality not very far from an image taken during the full moon. Even small craters are clearly visible on the lunar surface. It is necessary to align the solar corona and the Moon separately in order not to blurr one of these two parts.

ProcessingComposition of 25 images. Eclipse images were calibrated by means of several hundreds 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.
