Scientific paper

The night sky brightness at Sacramento Peak Observatory has been monitored over a period of nine months. The average zenith sky is 21.9 ± 0.1 mυ arc sec-2. The night sky brightness shows fluctuations of up to 25% during this period. The long record of daytime sky-brightness observations shows a strong seasonal effect with brightest skies occurring in the early summer months. This seasonal effect is marginally present in the night sky brightness results. Light pollution from the closest urban areas is also detailed.
