Coronal images were taken in the light of the He I 10830 Å line, the 10000 Å continuum, and the Fe XIV 5303 Å line, with the aim of studying the thermal structure of the corona. In addition, spectroscopic observations were made in the violet wavelength region (3760-4060 Å) and near-infrared (10745-10835 Å), to obtain details of physical conditions of the corona, especially of its cool part. The data obtained do not show any distinct cool structures other than ordinary prominences. Some preliminary results concerning the corona and prominence structures are given.
