About this field
A thousand-galaxy cluster at the Galactic north pole, and the field where astronomers first inferred dark matter from galaxy motions in 1933.
Product status
A pre-flight simulation product. Generated on the ground to build and test the calibration pipeline before launch — useful for developing analysis code, but it is synthetic, not sky.
Exposure
Pointing
Band
H-band; a core survey filter.
Access

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.
