A truly dark sky has a surface brightness of 2 × 10 −4 cd m −2 or 21.8 mag arcsec −2. [9] [clarification needed] The peak surface brightness of the central region of the Orion Nebula is about 17 Mag/arcsec 2 (about 14 milli nits) and the outer bluish glow has a peak surface brightness of 21.3 Mag/arcsec 2 (about 0.27 millinits).

mag/arcsec 2 Description 1 Excellent dark-sky site 7.6–8.0 21.76 - 22.0 the zodiacal light is visible and colorful; the gegenschein is readily visible; the zodiacal band is visible; airglow is readily visible; the Scorpius and Sagittarius regions of the Milky Way cast obvious shadows
Arcsecant(arcsec)-function + Arcsecant(arccsc)-function from Wikimedia Commons plot-range: -4.5 to 4.5 plotted with cubic bezier-curves in several intervalls the bezier-controll-points are calculated to give a very accurate result. symbols in "Computer Modern" (TeX) font embedded created with a plain text editor using GNU/Linux
(The S 10 unit is defined as the surface brightness of a star whose V-magnitude is 10 and whose light is smeared over one square degree, or 27.78 mag arcsec −2.) The total sky brightness in zenith is therefore ~220 S 10 or 21.9 mag/arcsec² in the V-band. Note that the contributions from Airglow and Zodiacal light vary with the time of year ...

(Problem 5.2 of Galaxies in the Universe: An Introduction): Show that the central surface brightness of 15 m a g / a r c s e c 2 {\displaystyle mag/arcsec^{2}} in the I band corresponds to 18000 L ⊙ / p c 2 {\displaystyle 18000L_{\odot }/pc^{2}}
The first is the direction of the proper motion on the celestial sphere (with 0 degrees meaning the motion is north, 90 degrees meaning the motion is east, (left on most sky maps and space telescope images) and so on), and the second is its magnitude, typically expressed in arcseconds per year (symbols: arcsec/yr, as/yr, ″/yr, ″ yr −1) or ...
The [5 dl 2 dl 1 dl 2 dl] represents a dash-dot line. There are 5 units of line (the dash) followed by 2 units of empty space, 1 unit of line (the dot), 2 more units of empty space, and then it starts over again. 0.5 0.5 0.5 represents the color gray. /LTb is the graph's border, and /LTa is for the zero axes.
