The inner corona during a rare Hybrid Eclipse
Exmouth Western Australia April 20th, 2023

 

 

 

 

Depending from where you see a hybrid solar eclipse, the view will vary from
a partial to annular to a barely, yet totally, eclipsed Sun.

During totality the bright inner corona is
adorned with dazzling red chromospheric highlights.

This fleeting view (lasting just 58 seconds)
is rare (about once in a decade) and remarkably beautiful.

Various exposure times 1/4 to 1/4000th sec
ISO 100

Canon EOSR5
Astro-Physics AP155 EDF with 4" field flattener,
Astro-Physics Mach 2 Mount.
