2026 total solar eclipse (5/n)

This is a HDR composite of five images, shot at different exposures to capture the dynamic range of the prominences, the inner corona and the outer corona. You can even make out a little Earthshine.

Astro-modified Canon R8, Canon RF 100mm-500mm USM lens. Processed in Photoshop, mostly following Naztronomy's Youtube tutorials on creating HDRs with eclipse data. Using the Pellett method really brought out the coronal streamers, which were completely washed out in the raw data.
