Abstract
Observations of the total solar eclipse of July 31, 1981 performed by the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory expedition at Shortand (the Tselinograd region) and Tarma (the Bratsk region) are described. The instrumentation used, i.e., the coronagraph and a specially designed electrophotometer, are described. Preliminary results are examined with particular attention given to the structure and shape of the corona and coronal equidensities.
