A grating spectrometer of 60 cm focal length and 15 cm grating width was equipped with an imaging photon detector to observe the night sky spectra. Data include a sequence of complete spectra of the night sky from 350 to 700 nm. Most of the line and band spectra associated with airglow and auroral emissions within this spectral region are positively identified. With an integration period of 120 sec, it is possible to observe the scattered Fraunhofer spectrum of sunlight in the visible-light spectral region, even during periods near midnight in winter. An attempt to detect the O2 Hertzberg or Chamberlain bands was unsuccessful, with the competition from the strong Fraunhofer absorption lines in this region being partly responsible.
