Descripción
Observations have been selected in Tenerife Zodiacal Light Data, which make it possible to separate the diffuse galactic light from other components. Far from the Milky Way (30°≤|b|≤60°) the diffuse galactic light shows a decreasing slope which cannot exceed -0.3S 10 vis. per degree of galactic latitude, and is probably a very weak component of the total extraterrestrial light.
