Blink comparison of DEB sites 7 (Vail High School students observing in Oklahoma), 63 (Talawanda High School students observing in Ohio) and 33 (Jeremy Wright observing in Maine).\u00a0 The animated 3-frame GIF is comprised of a single HDR image from each site and shows coronal evolution over approximately 40 minutes. Lots of interesting coronal changes are already apparent in this preliminary data! See the observations page<\/a> for more details
