We have obtained images in solar coronal emission lines under high sky
-background conditions by making precise differential measurements bet
ween the coronal emission line and the near-by continuum, which is pri
marily due to scattered light from the solar disk. Chopping between th
e two wavelengths was performed at 100 kHz to avoid artifacts from fas
t-flying dust particles and other aerosols, and also from seeing effec
ts. The differential signal was detected with a novel CCD camera that
demodulates signals up to 100 kHz. These preliminary observations show
coronal emission at the 0.2% level of the scattered-light background
and pave the way to efficient and precise imaging of coronal emission
features under less than ideal 'coronal-sky' conditions.
