Soft-X-ray images of the sun obtained in an experimental trial of the f/45 RTF imaging telescope (using a 6-micron-thick Al filter for 0.8-2.2-nm wavelengths and a 20-micron-thick Be filter for 0.6-2.0 nm) during the Vertical-8 high-altitude rocket flight of September 26, 1979, are presented and analyzed using digital processing techniques. The two images are found to be underexposed, so that only one active region, corresponding in position to McMath 16,298, can be defined. The method of filter ratios is used to calculate the temperature and emission measure of the region as (1.3 + or 0.5) x 10 to the 6th K and 4 x 10 to the 29th/cm5, respectively.
