Abstract
DURING the period of the International Quiet Sun Year, better opportunities may be found for the examination of airglow in the middle latitudes at a time when little or no auroral contamination is expected. With the view of measuring the intensities of the night airglow radiations emitted from the whole dome of the sky, a simple photoelectric type of photometer has been designed and built, in the Upper Atmosphere Research Section of the National Research Council, Ottawa, Canada.
