About this field

Revisited every five days for two years to catch Type Ia supernovae out to redshift 2 and beyond. Continuous visibility from L2 is what makes a cadence this regular possible.

The image above is procedurally generated. Source positions, colours and crowding are derived from the field's galactic latitude and character and from the band's pivot wavelength, and every exposure of a field draws the same sky so dithers line up — but none of it is data from the telescope.
