Corona up to 4 solar radii
This image is very similar to this image. It is made
from the same data sets. The only difference is that the 640 mm focal length William Optics lens image
set was used as the main image set and the other sets were aligned with this set. That is
why the resulting image has wider field of view. The image contains a lot of
very fait stars some of them very near to the Sun. The magnitude limit is about 11. The stars are not
round because the Sun is moving rather fast among the stars - about 1° per day. The star trails
are of different length because every image part consists of different images taken in different
time. The trails of bright stars are usually longer because they are recorded on more images than the
faint stars. Some stars are double dots which look like caused by images misalignment. It is not the
reason is again Sun movement. The full resolution image is
here.

Processing | Composition of 120 eclipse images (26 (1), 33 (2) 61 (3)). 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. Image processing by Miloslav Druckmüller |
