Observations of the quiet Sun from the soft x ray telescope on Yohkoh

The Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) on Yohkoh has obtained many thousands of images suitable for studying the quiet Sun. It will give a new perspective on the types of structures, their frequency of occurrence, and their lifetimes that will provide an invaluable tool for planning SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) observations of the solar corona. The range of corona phenomena and the dynamic nature of the quiet Sun are illustrated.
