Another shot of the corona, this time with the exposure reduced a bit to bring out the delicate detail in the silvery streamers of the corona. Also note the faint pink bits around the top-right edge of the moon - these are solar prominences - huge loops of super hot plasma coming up from the sun's photosphere (again only visible during totality).
