Observations of neutral iron emission in twilight spectraA method is presented for the analysis of twilight airglow spectra that may be contaminated by atmospheric continuum emission of unknown brightness. The necessity of correcting for this continuum emission when measuring weak airglow features in twilight is illustrated by application of the method to the neutral iron line at 3860 A.
