OpticalBackgroundNoise:

Path: Link/Optical

% Computes optical background noise for various sources. 
   Available sources are Solar, Lunar, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter,
   Saturn
   Sunlit clouds, sunlit snow and ice, starfield.
   The last four are per steradian so you must multiply times the
   field-of-view.
