Abstract
We observed the white-light corona during the total solar eclipse of 2016 March 9 from Corong Beach, East Borneo. The solar corona is nearly circular with exception on the southern part of the Sun. Coronal structures are clearly seen. Based on the data, we obtained the Ludendorff flattening index, Nikolsky geometric flattening index, and phases of solar activity (Φ and P) are 0.129, 1.32, -0.716, and 0.573 respectively. Relation between Ludendorff and Nikolsky index, sunspot number, and phases of solar activity were discussed. We also predicted the amplitude of solar cycle 25 to be 196 ± 52 (based on 13-month smoothed monthly data) and 130 ± 42 (based on monthly sunspot number data).
