Abstract

We present composite white-light images of the 2019 July 2, total solar eclipse, from the minimum of the solar-activity cycle. We exhibit high-resolution high dynamic range composites from three observation sites in Chile, including one made of 646 individual ground-based images and with such a wide field it exceeds the field of view of the Naval Research Laboratory's C2 and C3 coronagraphs aboard ESA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. We compare the resolution of the coronal streamers and other magnetic phenomena of the corona. We also show continuity of features on the solar surface as observed from NOAA's GOES-16 and GOES-17 Solar Ultraviolet Imager.
