Abstract
Star-counts on the Palomar Sky Survey Atlas were made in 1968-87 in order to estimate the background brightness in zodiacal light and airglow observations. Measured diameters of blue and red images of each star were converted to the magnitude with empirical diameter-magnitude relations. The resultant blue and red brightnesses and colors of the integrated starlight are presented for 24 sky regions, including 4 polar (North Celestial, North Ecliptic, North and South Galactic) and 10 ecliptic regions.
