Description:
    LONG EXPOSURE STUDY OF QUIET CORONA
  
Temperature contour lines are overlaid on each image
to guide the eye.  In general the temperature histogram
in the lower right is quite reasonable for the quiet corona
for this stage of the cycle -- I think.
  
Note fairly strong inverse correlation between temperature
and emission measure which breaks down for the XBP features.
  
Hard to see any likely correlation with chromospheric
network -- but it may be too early to say.
  
The SXT is quite a good instrument for studying the solar
minimum corona if one is willing to average enough data.
