Notes. Values are given in mag/arcsec2 for different zenith angles z. Higher magnitude values indicate lower brightness contribution (less debris light). These values represent only the debris-induced brightness, not the total night sky brightness. Azimuth angles: 0° (north) for VLT and LSST, 90° (east) for Quito.
