A method is proposed for calculating the coronal magnetic fields of far extending loops using the photospheric magnetic field. The photospheric longitudinal components of the magnetic field measured on a certain day are used to derive the normal components, taking into account the curvature of the solar surface. The magnetic fields are assumed to be potential or force-free fields. The method is applied to magnetic fields observed on September 5 and September 7, 1973; XUV pictures from the NRL spectroheliograph on Skylab taken on these dates are compared to the projected small- and large-scale magnetic field lines. In cases where good agreement is not obtained for the potential fields, force-free fields are calculated and fitted to the observed structures.
