Galactic background radiation has been observed in the 78-111 eV Be band using 5000 Å beryllium filters in front of a thin-window proportional counter collimated to a 15° full width at half maximum field of view. Be band data have been analyzed from two sounding rocket flights (Bloch et al. 1986, Juda 1988) that viewed seventeen different directions distributed over the northern galactic hemisphere. In Figure 1 the pointing directions of the two flights are indicated on a map from McCammon et al. (1983) of the 130-188 eV B band count rate.
