Charged particles in an extensive air shower generate a large number of Cherenkov photons. depending on geometry of the shower, a fraction of these photons is emitted directly towards the detector or gets to it after being scattered in the atmosphere. Thus the Cherenkov photons constitute a background for fluorescence signal from the shower. So far, only direct and singly-scattered Cherenkov photons have been taken into account in analyses of the shower optical image. In this paper, a Monte Carlo method of evaluating the contribution of multiply-scattered Cherenkov light to the optical image of the shower is presented. Preliminary results of these simulations are shown.
