About this field
A dense window toward the Galactic centre, imaged every fifteen minutes during six-week seasons. Microlensing here is expected to yield thousands of cold exoplanets, including free-floating worlds bound to no star at all.

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.
