Abstract
A general transformation function F(λ) from S_10(λ) to RÅ or nl is obtained, by using three equations published by Lienert et al. (1995). Massey et al. (1990) and Garstang (1986), which are converting the sky brightness from S_10 (κ) units, R/Å and nl to mag/sec^2. The transformation function is inversely proportion to wavelength: i.e. it takes the form F(λ) =f λ^-1. The coefficient f is found to be equal 23.23 for all wavelengths. A set of different values of F(λ) is obtained for the different wavelengths. The present value of F(λ) at λ= 5300 Å confirms, the value obtained by Roach (1973) at the same wavelength.
