Abstract
We calculate the coronal aureole using the Fourier transform and we sh ow that the outer corona significantly contributed to its value. We fu rther propose a new, simple mathematical method which allows to derive the scattering function directly from two observational images taken successively during an eclipse. This method is successfully tested usi ng different models of the scattering function.
