Description:

April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Corona composite stacked in Photoshop from 8 exposures taken at totality ranging from 1/320 to 1.6 seconds at ISO 100. Individual exposures were processed with the Camera Raw filter to bring out the corona details from 7 frames and then stacked in a Smart Object using "mean" stacking. Earthshine came from the 8th frame (1.6 second exposure) also processed using Camera Raw. Perfectly cloudless skies in Houlton, ME (go figure!)
