In two-dimensional spectrographs, the optical distortions in the spatial and dispersion directions produce variations in the subpixel sampling of the background spectrum. Using knowledge of the camera distortions and the curvature of the spectral features, one can recover information regarding the background spectrum on wavelength scales much smaller than a pixel. As a result, one can propagate this better sampled background spectrum through inverses of the distortion and rectification transformations and accurately model the background spectrum in two-dimensional spectra for which the distortions have not been removed (i.e., the data have not been rebinned/rectified). The procedure, as outlined in this paper, is extremely insensitive to cosmic rays, hot pixels, etc. Because of this insensitivity to discrepant pixels, sky modeling and subtraction need not be performed as one of the later steps in a reduction pipeline. Sky subtraction can now be performed as one of the earliest tasks, perhaps just after dividing by a flat field. Because subtraction of the background can be performed without having to clean cosmic rays, such bad pixel values can be trivially identified after removal of the two-dimensional sky background.
