Scientific paper

The extended 100 micron emission discovered by IRAS and called "interstellar cirrus" is also visible on modern sky survey Schmidt plates as faint, blue emission. In this paper the infrared emission and optical appearance for two "cirrus" clouds are compared. A dust temperature of about 20K is derived and a luminosity at 100 micron of about 9 MJy/Sr per magnitude extinction.
