Abstract
An attempt to detect the finest white-light coronal features observed with a large optical telescope was made at the July 11, 1991 Solar Tot al Eclipse. A few selected results taken from the video-CCD high speed observations obtained at the prime focus of the Canada-France-Hawaii- Telescope (CFHT) with a red coronal interference filter are presented. The smallest (sub-arsec) detected and/or resolved coronal features ar e shown. The methods that were used to extract them from the noisy and seeing-limited images taken from video frames are described.
