THE FINE DETAILS: This deep High Dynamic Range composite of series of different exposures reveals finest details in solar corona during total solar eclipse on July 2, 2019, captured from ESO La Silla Observatory. Solar corona is plasma of free electrons scattering the solar light and is effected by magnetic field. Thanks to the electrons, the magnetic field becomes easily visible and for this eclipse they were showing typical dipole character of the field in deep solar minumum. Poles of the sun are up and down, indicated by numerous of thin beams, while for equator from side to side are typical long streamers and magnetic loops. The corona, in fact, continues much further from the sun than seen on the image, which can be seen on composite images from cameras LASCO C2 and C3 of the NASA/ESA's SOHO observatory. Used Canon 6D, MTO 1100/f10.5.
