Sensitive measurements of a dipole anisotropy of the Cosmic Background Radiation at wavelengths of 1.7 and 0.8 mm are presented. Under the assumption that the dipole moment is caused by a doppler shift, these measurements are of sufficient precision to constrain spectral distortions of the CBR at short wavelengths. Measurements of the brightness and shape of diffuse galactic emission are also presented.
