Lovely shot, but this is not the corona.

A bit confusing as they share the same name but it is a corona

Thank you Pete. I was never aware that this term was used to describe 2 very
different things. I shall have to look at this more closely.


You also get a corona around high voltage, plus the word is used in
several other fields too. Corona is Latin for crown I believe.
