We report on the Williams College expedition to Mukandgarh Fort, Rajasthan, for the total solar eclipse of 24 October 1995. The main experiments were a search for 1 Hz oscillations in coronal loops as an indication of magnetohydrodynamic theories of coronal heating and a mapping of the coronal temperature through comaprison of images at specific ultraviolet wavelengths, measuring the difference between the photospheric and coronal continuum. We also obtained a variety of coronal images.
