About Nanolux
The nanolux (nlx) equals 10⁻⁹ lx. Astronomical night-sky scale: the zodiacal band contributes ~10-50 nlx; airglow ~150 nlx; the Milky Way core ~100 nlx. The absolute human eye threshold is around 100 nlx. Used in night-sky quality metrics and photomultiplier tube calibration. 1 nlx = 10⁻⁹ lx.
About Microlux
The microlux (µlx) equals 10⁻⁶ lx. Natural night illuminance: a moonless overcast sky ~100 µlx; scattered starlight ~200-300 µlx; crescent moon ~10-50 µlx. Used in night-vision equipment sensitivity specifications and observatory site-quality assessments. 1 µlx = 10⁻⁶ lx.
