Landscape composite of full eclipse (wide angle, ~90 deg, 18mm camera)Ĭo-authors: Manuel Castillo-Fraile, Miguel Perez-Ayucar, Abel De Burgos, Michel BreitfellnerĪbstract: Total Solar Eclipses have been used historically to observe and measure solar regions like its Chromosphere and inner and extended Corona, not visible with scientific equipment due to its low emission compared to the overwhelming photosphere. Stars Leo-a (Regulus), Leo-v and Leo-31 can be seen within hte extended corona, at distances less than 4 Sun's diameters Moon's visible face is clearly distinguished, despite the ultra faint shine, using a processed over-exposed image, telescope ~1000mm, 2sec, ISO 1800. The full disk of the Moon is lit by Earth's reflected light from the Sun. The moon during totality on Earth's reflected light Multiple suns are projected through pinholes, in this custom made ESA logo Right image shows a cropped/rotated part of left image with the usual emission lines in visible spectra. Left image is raw, taken with diffraction filter and Olympus E240, 500mm lens, during third contact (C3). Also a first draft identification of the emission lines in the visible part of the spectra (there are also lines in the NIR). The chromosphere and corona spectra from Sun's limb before totality. Images are raw, taken with visible-light telescope telescope (~f/1000), no filter, Canon 550D, during Moon's exit (third contact, C3)
