 Another target somewhat brighter, and so often accessible from sites
 where the Zodiacal Band is too faint to see, is the famed Gegenschein
 or "counterglow": this is a "cloud" of faint gray light (some call it
 pearly) which surrounds the point on the Zodiac that lies immediately
 opposite the sun in the night sky.  >>

The Gegenschein always seem dimmer to me than the Zodiacal lights.
