Scientific paper

Spectroscopic observations of the lunar disk and limb were taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in November 1998 using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) between 169 nm and 319 nm. The impetus for these observations was to search for possible OH emission and provide a better solar analogue for HST planetary observations. An upper limit for OH emission is presented. Data reduction is discussed, which included correcting contamination by light scatter in the shorter wavelengths for the G230LB grating. These observations are compared with previous lunar spectra, as well as the recent HST observations from the impact of the Lunar Prospector.
