Abstract

On an expedition to nearby Kasprowy Wierch mountain in the late winter through early spring of 1961, Kordylewski took 11- to 13-minute photographic exposures of the L5 region using a wide-field Leica camera equipped with a 50-mm f/1.5 lens. PHOTO (COLOR): Reported to appear similar to but considerably fainter than the gegenschein seen at left, Kordylewski's clouds of dust reside 60° ahead of and behind the Moon in its orbital path.
