Observations, from the Apollo 16 spacecraft, in lunar orbit, of the total radiance of the K + F corona, from 3 R/sub sub solar / to 55 R/sub sub solar / are presented and discussed. The logarithmic slope of the K + F coronal radiance, in the region r > 20 R/sub sub solar /, is found to be n = 1.93, slightly less steep than previous determinations. The photometric axis of the radiance is found to be displaced 3 plus or minus 1 deg north of the ecliptic, for the region r > 20 R/sub sub solar /, and this displacement is interpreted as an annual variation due to noncoincidence of the ecliptic and the symmetry axis of the zodiacal cloud.
