A scatter‐hole x‐ray camera has been designed and flown in a rocket to measure solar x radiation. Its distinguishing feature is that many single pin‐hole images are allowed to overlap—a multiplexing approach that saves space, gives practical signal‐to‐fog ratio, and requires special object reconstruction techniques. It was possible to reconstruct the appearance of the dominant source of solar emission on the day of rocket flight with better than one arc minute resolution. The coronal x‐ray region had the same general shape and intensity distribution as the associated calcium K‐line region
