I combined 12 exposures to capture the sun's corona during the total eclipse. I did my best to capture how the moment actually looked in the sky.

Wow this is incredible! I had the chance to see the corona in person and this is spot on, great shooting!

I was so surprised to actually see that with my eyes. I didn't believe it was actually going to be that impressive. Thought you'd have to use special equipment to catch the really cool stuff.

This is one of the few shots I've seen that seem to get the color correct. Most shots show the carona as just white.

The color of the eclipse is what surprised me the most. I was expecting the carona to be white like it is in most pictures but it is the most beautiful silvery-blue. Your picture captures it perfectly.
