March 29th, 2006 Total Solar Eclipse - Egypt

(click image to view & discuss)	Bert Halstead - Composite Bert improved his composite image showing details of the corona.  He added in three of his 8-second exposures, which reduced the noise in the faint areas a lot. He also did a better job of color correction, avoiding a false light bluish hue that was present near the 6 o'clock position on the moon's limb in the earlier image. BTW, the star that is visible very close to the lower right-hand corner of this image is the seventh-magnitude star SAO 109216. Submitted by Bernie Volz on 05/08/2006 22:12:59
