Abstract
Ground-based observations of the evening zodiacal light taken by Weinberg and Mann from Mt Haleakala, Hawaii, during March 1966 are used to derive a table of zodiacal light brightnesses at spatial resolutions as small as 0.5° in differential ecliptic longitude λ- λ ⊙, and 1.0° in ecliptic latitude β over the region 29.5° < λ- λ ⊙ < 56°, and −30° < β < +30°. Significant differences are found in the brightness distribution above and below the ecliptic plane. This is the first in a series of papers, on presentation and interpretation of observed small scale structures in the brightness of the zodiacal light. In this paper, we bring attention to a feature found in the brightness at all ecliptic latitudes, between differential ecliptic longitudes 39° and 42°.
