Nicely done. There seems to be some CA,m that is not consistent with the
corona.


I worked it a bit different he

Yea, I have to work on that. The CA was not in the original.
It is two RAW images combined (one caught the top and was pasted onto
the other), and each of those was layered from two adjustments.

It's the first I really worked with these RAW images and it is really
amazing what is possible.

I adjusted first to show the corona better, then to show the red flares
better. Something got lost somewhere and the CA appeared.

I'll post back when it's improved.


Wish I could have been there.

No photo or video can come close to capturing the moment. I get choked
up every time I think about it.


Yes. Nature is awesome. On a whale watching trip I was so fascinated by
the breaching whales, that I forgot I had a camera.


I recorded a video just for the sounds of the people witnessing it.

That's the closest I could come to showing what it was like.

Here it is on Youtube:
