Popis: Applying time-dependent corrections of the atmospheric diffuse light to the observed night sky brightness, we have determined brightness of the zodiacal light over the region 40° ≤ λ - λ ⊙ ≤ 320° and -20° ≤ s ≤ 20°. The resulting map of equal brightness contours has an angular resolution of two degrees, and exhibits east-west and north-south asymmetries.
