Description
This is a 17 image composite of the total solar eclipse taken from Madras, Oregon. All exposures used were taken in short succession during totality and the diamond ring phase.
In addition to the impressive corona and some prominences, the structure of the moon is visible as well. This is possible due to earthshine: reflected sunlight from earth is illuminating the dark side of the moon.
Also visible are two stars: Bright Regulus is obvious in the lower left of the frame and 5th magnitude Nu Leonis is dimly visible on the upper right of the sun.
