Abstract
In this paper the integral equation governing the fluctuations in brightness of the Milky Way is considered for the case in which the system extends to infinity in the direction of the line of sight. The equation is explicitly solved for the two cases in which all the clouds are equally transparent and when the frequency of occurrence of clouds with a transparency factor q is (n + 1)qn. The derived distributions of brightness are illustrated.
