Thanks David. The image is in homage to Fred Espenak, who created a
similar image in 2001.
It was very dramatic but lacked the resolution you can now obtain with digital imaging.
Surfing the web, while there are many ultra-detailed coronal images (e.g. Drukmuller) I did not find any high resolution examples of the chromosphere
....hence am very pleased about being able to tease out the fine details seen in this image.
(The original 5K image is tack sharp.... even on an A2 print)
