Scientific paper

Using the Orion nebula as typical example of H II regions, it is demonstrated that the differential extinction can be derived precisely from (P-gamma)/(H-delta) and forbidden S II blue and IR line ratios observed with long-slit CCD spectroscopy. This spectroscopic imaging technique allows a correct elimination of perturbing atmospheric sky emission lines in the IR wavelength region, so that this technique may become a useful diagnostic tool for other H II regions.
