This image is an HDR stack of 47 different bracketed exposures during totality, with shutter speeds ranging from 1/8000 to 2s. All of the images were taken during the first 2 minutes of totality, before max eclipse. The RAWs were then imported into Photoshop and aligned with the moon in the very center of the image, and cropping was done to clean up the messy edges. I combined the aligned images into a smart object, and used the "Mean" stack mode to average out all of the images. The Pellett method was used to extract fine coronal detail from the averaged out stack. I then used Adobe Camera Raw to adjust simple things such as exposure and shadows, and I then moved on to editing out dust specks and noise. Various other color corrections were done, including some to remove green tints around the solar prominences. No color correction has been done to the sky on this image.

The resulting image was then color inverted, making the coronal details much easier to view.
