Scientific paper

Measurements performed at San Benito Mountain during 1976-87 reveal that the zenith sky brightness in the V and B photometric bands is well correlated with the solar 10.7-cm radio flux, and thus with the intensity of the solar EUV radiation in the 100-625 A range. It is found that the brightness of the zenith sky decreases exponentially by about 0.4 mag in both V and B during at least the first half of the night. The results indicate that the level of solar EUV flux and the time of night must be taken into account when assessing the quality of a dark-sky site.
