High resolution image of inner corona
This image is, up to now, definitely the best maximum type solar corona image in MMV-project archive
with respect to resolution and overall image quality. The fantastic sharpness of the image you may rate
on the full resolution image. Faint stars are of one pixel size and
some of them are nearly of 11 mag. The sharpness is the result of excellent optics, perfect focusing,
nearly no vibrations during the exposure, perfect sub-pixel image alignment and excellent Nikon D7100
camera. Nikon D7100 has no low-pass filter unlike Canon DSLR cameras and therefore it gives
significantly sharper images.

| Date | 3. 11. 2013 |
| Time | 2nd contact 13:52:40 UT, total eclipse duration 65 s |
| Place | 50 km far from Lambarene, Gabon |
| Coordinate | S 0° 22' 47", E 10° 20' 43", Alt. 78 m |
| Conditions | Clear sky in the vicinity of the Sun (solar altitude above the horizon: 45°) |
| Optics | Takahashi FSQ 106N |
| Camera | Nikon D7100 |
| Exposure | 1/2000 s - 2 s (ISO 100) - computer control Solar Eclipse Maestro |
| Processing | Composition of 66 eclipse images. Eclipse images were calibrated by means of large number 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.

| Software | Astro D3F 2.0, PhaseCorr 6.0, LDIC 6.0, Corona 4.1, Sofo ACC 6.1 |
| Note | The graph above the table shows the average values of the relative number of sunspots in which the red line indicates the time of 2013 eclipse. Data from the World Data Center for the sunspot index, (Solar Influences Data Analysis Center, the Royal Observatory of Belgium) were used. |
