The thermal emission spectra of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and the moon were observed at the coude focus of the McDonald Observatory 107-inch telescope in the 400–1400 cm−1 spectral range with spectral resolutions of 0.3–0.7 cm−1. A preliminary interpretation of the Venus/lunar ratio spectrum allows identification of four upper state CO2 bands in the Venusian atmosphere at 791, 828, 865, and 961 cm−1 and confirms previous observations of the broad absorption-like depression around 890 cm−1. The rotational structure of the 791 and 961 cm−1 bands is well developed at this spectral resolution.
