      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.

      For more info on how I made this image, check out my blog! http://astronomollylog.blogspot.com/2017/08/solar-eclipse-corona-composite.html
