Photometry of the zodiacal light in the near infrared
Abstract
DURING our investigation1 of comet Kohoutek (1973f) we had occasion to take many photographs of the zodiacal light through various filters. In particular we photographed it in infrared light with filters to isolate regions from 610 to 920 nm. Later we calibrated the emulsions and camera lenses together by photographing suitably dilute sunlight scattered by a fresh MgO surface.
