The synoptic observing program of the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (MLSO) has as its goal the specification of the time-dependent structure of the solar corona. The growth of the low intensity polar regions and ordering of the brighter corona into a band near the equator seen in the second, third, and fourth years of observations (1981 to 1983) continued through 1984. In 1985, the corona remains in the same general form, with the brightest regions concentrated in a band around the equator, similar to the situation noted near the last solar minimum. The apparent excursions of the darkest regions (polar holes) towards the equator seen at the start of the year become less pronounced with time. However, the area embraced by the highest brightness contours tends to increase throughout the year, perhaps indicating that the corona has gone through its minimum configuration. The material presented here is in a format providing a convenient access to investigators intending to make correlation studies or an intercomparison of standard synoptic data sets.
