About this field

The standard photometric calibration field. Its well-characterised stars set the flux zero points that every other Roman observation is measured against.

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.
