Quasi-space sky brightness and low-scattered light in telescopes during total solar eclipses (TSE) allow to significantly improving the “signal-to-noise” ratio for coronal polarimetry. An approach for the high-precision linear polarimetry both in continuum and in emission lines is described. “Polarization images” (2D distributions of the polarization degree, the polarization angle, and the sign of the angle) are presented for H-alpha prominences and the coronal continuum in the range <1.5 Rsun of March 29, 2006. Interpretation in the frame of scattering at moving electrons result in conclusion on different scales electrical currents in the inner K-corona. The use of TSE to test feasibility of future ground and space inner K-corona projects is noted.
