Original abstract

Observations of the total solar eclipse of 2006 March 29, as it crossed Africa from southwest to northeast into a Greek island and beyond, allowed correlations with near-simultaneous coronal observations from several spacecraft, including SOHO and TRACE. New methods of compositing images allow the recovery of higher resolution (100Y200) on coronal features than had normally been available in the past, reaching substantially higher resolutions than are currently available from space.We discuss a variety of the new methods and observations, and use them to provide the most detailed portrait possible of the Sun, at least on 2006 March 29.
