J. ; Roesler, F. L. ; Scherb, F. Abstract Galactic and nongalactic components of the diffuse Ha and H nightsky emissions have been resolved with a Fabry-Perot spectrometer. The nongalactic component of both lines accounts for most of the emission at galactic latitudes greater than 30 . The intensities of the galactic component yield values for the average ionization rate per hydrogen atom that are between 10-15 and 10-14 1 assuming steady-state ionization.
