Using the Shklovsky-Minkowski-Aller constant mass method of distances to planetary nebulae, a model of the Galactic dust distribution in the vicinity of the Sun has been determined. Distances are determined in part from extinctions derived from radio continuum to Hβ flux ratios for an assumed electron temperature of 7000 K. The distance scale is based on the brightness of planetary nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds (Seaton, 1968).
