Scientific paper

Photometric upper limits on the 300 A flux from the hot white dwarfs Feige 24 and G191-B2B are presented. The limits, which were obtained with a rocket-borne extreme ultraviolet imaging telescope, are interpreted as lower limits on the density of the intervening interstellar matter. The limits are used to investigate the state of interstellar gas within 100 pc. A local clumpiness factor, which is of value in planning future extreme ultraviolet observations, is derived.
