Observations of the moon and HD 44179 were obtained in the wavelength range of 7.5-8.5 microns at a resolving power of approximately 800. The spectrum of the moon shows absorptions caused by telluric methane. Use of the moon as a calibrator is effective in removing these atmospheric lines. The spectrum of HD 44179 shows that the 7.7-micron emission feature does not break up into discrete, resolved emission features. Instead, it must be a broad, apparently continuous, emission feature.
