He really compared it to a campfire????? So I was right he has absolutely no working knowledge about solar mechanics. And I already showed a couple pages ago that the dark spouts are defects in the lenses as well as the rings. That's why I ignored him. People who have no experience with solar mechanics and imaging, yet adamantly stick to this theory obviously have an agenda or an unwavering present conceived notion. I also find it strange that the OP has dissapeared and this new guy is violently saying the same stuff the OP did.

I'm back. I think I have got at the bottom of this.
I hate to be a party pooper, and I was very excited about discovering something new, but I have to be faithful to the truth, even if I don't always like it.
I think it is debris.
I just found this pic at the Stereo site:
along with this explanation:
These small debris particles are brightly illuminated by the Sun, and are easily seen by the coronagraphs if they wander into the field of view. They are tremendously out-of-focus, and often appear as "donut" shapes in the COR1 and COR2 telescopes because of the central occulter in these telescopes. The bigger the piece of debris appears, the closer it is to the telescope. Because the COR1 and COR2 images are generally built up from a series of images, the same piece of debris will often show up multiple times.

I couldn't help noticing the same donut shape, the same transparency.
Then I went to helioviewer to find this specific pic, and is not there. You can check it out for yourselves.
This is telling me that they usually don't post pics compromised with so many debris; on the other side the objects discussed here are persistent and stayed there for a very long time so they have to put them there, otherwise would have been years without a pic.
This also explains why they were visible on both satellites. Debris.
There is still the issue of those smaller objects, not shaped like a donut, but I doubt it is some earth-shaking discovery.
I would love to hear some arguments to invalidate this debris theory, but for now I can't see a more logical option. Please prove me wrong
Now I really go to jump off the window
Have fun!

You are embarrassing yourself and are making a mockery of the whole thread.

Generally i would agree with what you say but this has in fact been debunked.
The corona is not what the op thinks is the corona.
The dark spots he used as reference for his gif are artifacts. Proven artifacts.
He used them as points because he thought they were part of the corona.
Which has been proven it is not.
Ipso facto debunked.

Put one huge defect which grabs all the attention (as is well demonstrated in this thread) in order to alibi the rest at a later date. I wouldn't put that past an agency bent on keeping secrets. This could also be done in order to 'give us enough rope' so to speak and to weed out the trouble-makers. I wouldn't put that past a government bent on keeping control, either.

Yes that is what I claim.
It has been discussed already several pages back and is proven already. Please at least read the thread before you act confused by something already confirmed

What are you doing?
Why are you making it about that crap?
The corona is not what op thought and that's the end of it.
Why does it have to be bigger than that?
Why do we have to be ignorant the world is flat types because the op clearly was wrong and we are pointing it out?
Why are you trying to make it something it's not?
Seems you trying to make something out of nothing....
I'm not a dissident just because I can see the obvious about the corona and that the op was wrong.
And that fundamentally destroys the whole theory.

Ok you just utterly convinced to me that you are a troll.
What you are saying is so crazy it's impossible to take you seriously.
