Color photographs of the inner Zodiacal Light were obtained aboard Saliout 7 with Kodak Ekta 400. Absolute calibrations were performed in-Flight with attenuated Sun light. The photometric analysis was carried out in three colors and corrections were introduced for the 01 emission of the F layers. The brightness of the Zodiacal Light along the ecliptic is found in good agreement with published data while its color is found slightly redder than the Sun. Its out-of-ecliptic variation coincides neither with the fan nor the ellipsoidal model; the photometric axis is found near the projection of the orbital plane of Venus.
