Abstract

High resolution (0.5–0.7Å) scans of the night sky Hβ emission line are interpreted in terms of an emission source associated with the Cetus Arc radio source. It is shown that the night sky Hβ emission can probably be divided into three components, a galactic contribution within ± 25° of the Milky Way, an overall terrestrial background component and a contribution from nebulosity associated with the radio arc regions. The Cetus Arc is shown to be moving through space with a component velocity of 20–40 km s–1 towards the Sun.
