Abstract
The digital photographic records of the white light corona polarization were made during the total solar eclipse on March 29,2006 in El-Saloum(Egypt).By means of a reflector telescope,f=640 mm(f/D=8),20 pictures were obtained with different exposure time and successive rotation of a polaroid by 45°.The main results about the degree and direction of polarization in the range of 1.3 R⊙ < r < 3.0 R⊙ are discussed and graphically presented.
