Corona around eclipsed sun as seen with a 400mm lens on my 33 year old SLR "Petri" camera (F6.3, 1-sec exposure, Kodachrome 64 slide film). This is about how much corona one could see with the naked eye. |
|
Corona with a 1/30 second exposure. Small red prominence can be seen at 11 o'clock. |
|
Corona with a 1/125 second exposure about 90 seconds into totality. Small prominences at 10 o'clock and 8 o'clock. |
|
A few seconds before the end of totality. Bailey's Beads and some of the chromosphere. The reddish chromosphere is 2000-3000 km thick. It glows faintly relative to the photosphere (the main part of the sun) and can only be seen easily during a total solar-eclipse. |
|
Diamond ring a the end of the totality. F6.3 1/125 second exposure. |
 |
The sunset effect about three minutes into totality. Taken with Olympus D-390 digital camera. |

The photographer and her photographic equipment during the partial phase between first and second contact, in the endless expanse of the Great Libyan Sand Sea. |

Before traveling to Libya, the photographer spent a week in Egypt visiting the ancient monuments. Look at the bus in the left center of the photo to realize how huge the pyramids are. |
