I like the portmanteau of “expletive” and “elementary”. Kind of like basic cussing.

No idea how he accomplished this, but sure demonstrates the directional aspect of the Corona…2019 Eclipse large Field of view – HDR astrophotography by Nicolas Lefaudeux

One of the captions reads:
The equatorial jet of the corona can be traced up to a distance around 40 solar radii above the sun, and around 25 solar radii toward the horizon.
I guess it’s back to the 14-24mm then!
I checked the parallactic angle (-131.6°) for this date and location (The Photographer's Ephemeris - Web App) and it’s in good agreement with the image orientation:
The wide equatorial jet is orthogonal to the parallactic angle, as you’d expect.
