We report on results from the Solar Eclipse Coronal Imaging System (SECIS), an instrument using fast CCD cameras designed to search for short-period modulations in visible-light emission from the corona during an eclipse or with a coronagraph. The instrument was successfully used during the total eclipse of 1999 August 11 from a site in Bulgaria. This paper summarizes both the instrument and preliminary results.
