About this Image / Über dieses Bild

Astro-Physics 105mm refractor and 1.4x tele converter (1:8), 50 ASA medium format film. 2 sec exposure time.
The extreme contrast enhancement (which also made visible a ring shaped artefact caused by the non uniform illumination of the tele converter) places emphasis to the typical "minimum corona", which has a diameter > 10 sun radii.
 

Astro-Physics 105mm-Refractor and 1,4x Tele Konverter (1:8), 50 ASA Mittelformat-Film. Zwei Sekunden Belichtungszeit.
Die extreme Kontrastverstärkung (die leider auch die ungleichmäßige Ausleuchtung durch den Telekonverter als ringförmigen Artefakt offenbart) bringt eine typische “Minimums Korona“ über etwa 10 Sonnenradien heraus.
