Description

I can't believe I captured this!!

This is a composite of 9 images of the corona, exposures running from 1/4000s to 1/4s, and ISOs 200 and 400. I used the Pellett method to create the composite. I'm SO excited about how well this came out!!

I used an alt-az mount, and I haven't figured out how to de-rotate and align the images yet, but they were close enough that I think it worked out.
