Total solar eclipse 11 July 2010
500mm, f/6.3 objective and Canon EOS 5D
The solar corona as recorded by an international team in Tatakoto Atoll (French Polynesia) during the total eclipse of 11 July 2010, close to the minimum of the solar activity cycle.
Coronal loops and streamers can be seen with incredible detail. This view of the corona is possible thanks to the combination of photographs with different exposure times and the application of sophisticated image processing techniques.
