On 2025-01-12, I imaged the Sun in He I D3. Using my scripts to extract the weak signal, I got able to show features otherwise characteristic of the corona. I stacked a total of 72 scans, spanning between 2025-01-12-0741Z and 2025-01-12-0933Z. Basically, I imaged the fingerprint of the giant coronal hole.
