Corona

[fleetwood]

Wanted to get the spreading corona effect rather than a simple glow.
Colors, just for effect, are probably fanciful.

Thanks, eclipse day , Aug 21, coming soon.
   Render is done emulating actual eclipse, moon planet in position blocking a sunlike planet with huge cloud stucture. Very fiddly to line up.
   Strange to me, it would not render properly with defer atmosphere turned on, defer causing it to blank out many of the buckets that should have cloud.
    example render defer atmo on, this is rendered to fully finished status :
