An 18-in Cassegrain telescope and UV imaging system is used to observe and record starlight in the wavelength range 3000-3700 A. The spatial dependence for the transmission of radiation through the atmosphere has been calculated using the LOWTRAN 6 computer code, and the results are compared to data from various UV-emitting stars. Variations in the atmosphere are seen to strongly depend on aerosol concentration which affects meteorological range. Ground-level photometer measurements of extinction coefficients are extrapolated to yield atmospheric visibility profiles for the observation point.
