NAZOV / TITLE : 

SECIS: a short history and future prospects

ABSTRAKT / ABSTRACT : 

The SECIS (Solar Eclipse Coronal Imaging System) was conceived in 1997 
as a CCD camera instrument that would search for tiny oscillations in 
the green-line coronal brightness. Some 12 years on, we have acquired 
lots of data for particularly the 1999 and 2001 eclipses. There is no 
clear example of any oscillations. But this is compatible with results 
from the CoMP instrument that has recently found evidence of coronal 
waves in velocity space, not in intensity. This could indicate the 
direction in which we should be working for future plans. I'll describe 
our results obtained already and will talk about future prospects for a 
new instrument to replace SECIS.
