The zodiacal light, due to sunlight reflected off interplanetary dust grains, is a measure of their spatial density as a function of heliocentric distance and latitude. We have developed procedures to photometrically correct the brightness variations in the Clementine Corona and Zodiacal Light (CZL) photographs to true image brightnesses. The processing steps follow generally along the path described by Berry (1994); however, there are additional processing steps involved for the Clementine images. Careful corrections are necessary because of the dimness of the features that we wish to observe.
