INFRARED airglow emission is bright, patchy and erratic1,2. The primary source of this emission was identified by Meinel3 as rotation-vibration bands of the OH molecule. These and subsequent studies4-6 did not delineate the true morphology of the infrared night sky because large fields of view (~20 deg2) were used and only point by point measurements taken. Accurate mapping of the night sky requires a small field of view to resolve the smallest structures and a rapid scanning rate to ``freeze'' any time variations in the luminosity.
