Abstract: We report on our attempts to measure the Second Solar Spectrum in the UVB region between 305nm and 317 nm. Below 310nm the increasing absorption due to atmospheric ozone leads to a dramatic drop of the photon flux, which renders high precision spectro-polarimetry more and more difficult. We present preliminary data and discuss the disturbing influence of different error sources like stray light and dark signal uncertainties, in order to derive confidence levels for our data.
