The authors present the first Very Large Array (VLA) synthesis maps of the quiescent corona at 90 cm wavelength and compare them with optical solar features. The quiescent corona at 90 cm wavelength is very inhomogeneous and variable, with the most intense emission concentrated within structures near the equatorial regions. This emission may be the thermal bremsstrahlung of a coronal plasma that might be confined in large-scale magnetic structures. The 90 cm sources are not systematically associated with any optical counterpart including active regions, filaments, sunspots and the magnetic neutral line, at least for the observations presented here. There is no intense 90 cm radiation in the polar regions, and this is at least partly due to coronal holes. More compact 90 cm sources in the quiescent corona also show no systematic correlation with optical counterparts. Associations with the magnetic neutral line are uncertain.
