Integrated starlight spectra for different Galactic latitudes and for two positions of the observer, z = 0 and z = 50 pc. The upper panels show the wavelength range 3500–10 000 Å, the lower panels show the wavelength range 3500–5500 Å. For z = 0 pc the spectra are shown from bottom to top for b = 90,36.8,11.5, and 0 deg as a black line. For z = 50 pc the spectra are shown from bottom to top for b = 90,36.8,23.6,11.5,5.7, and 0 deg as a black line. The mean spectra over the sky are shown as a red line. All spectra have the same scale and zero point.
