Eclipse Results - December 2021

Once again, Miloslav Druckmüller, has created a set of composite images showing the solar eclipse corona structure. This time using images from Andreas Möller who was set up on the ice. They enjoyed a clear view of the eclipse despite the frigid temperatures (makes batteries die off quickly).

Web site for viewing the images is http://www.zam.fme.vutbr.cz/~druck/Eclipse/Ecl2021a/0-info.htm

A twisted corona can be seen clearly in these enhanced images. Complex magnetic fields can be traced and near by stars seen for references. The process of creating these images is not easy and involves hours of computer and human time. We all appreciated the efforts taken.
