We present here the first full-disk solar Dopplergram obtained with the new 1024 × 1024-pixel CCD camera which has recently been installed at the 60-Foot Tower Telescope of the Mt. Wilson Observatory. This Dopplergram has a spatial resolution of 2.2 arcseconds and was obtained in less than one minute of time. The Dopplergram was obtained with a magneto-optical filter which was designed to obtain images in the two Na D lines. The filter and the camera were operated together as part of the development of a Solar Oscillations Imager (SOI) esperiment which is currently being designed at JPL for the joint NASA/ESA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) mission.
