An atlas is presented which contains daily full-sun photographs of the soft X-ray solar corona taken in two filters with an X-ray telescope on the Apollo telescope mount of Skylab for the period from May 29 to November 27, 1973. The passband of the first filter covers the wavelength regions from 2 to 32 A and 44 to 54 A; the second filter covers the region from 2 to 17 A. Characteristics of the instrument, the wavelength response, and sensitivity are described along with the total data base, of which the atlas represents only 1%. Comparisons are made with observations of the white-light corona, photospheric magnetic field, H-alpha radiation from the chromosphere, and 284-A Fe XV emission from the corona. A complete bibliography of scientific papers that have used the data base and a bibliography of catalogs and atlases containing related data for the same observational period are provided.
