APOD 2.4

               I first appealed to this image as recently I have been experimenting with different exposure settings on my camera. After looking at the landscape I can only imagine the adventure it is just to get to and from the telescope. The concept to create an artificial solar eclipse was genius. However the Corona I imagine is still probably pretty bright. I also wonder what the actual size of the corona is, to comprehend the distance it expands must be difficult because it slowly fades away. It must be easier to study the outer portions of the corona as they would be less bright.
