Upon the above publication of the Southern Galactic hemisphere, TunГ Tezel started seeking opportunities to create the Northern counterpart image. ... So, the initial quest of having the darkest possible sky have delivered us these two all-sky images of the two galactic hemispheres as seen from Planet Earth. Zoomable and 'full-screenable' fisheye view of the "darkest sky" Southern Galactic Hemisphere image. ...

In version 2 of the data reduction, we include frames where there is some visible scattered light, but where the background is still reasonably low (not more than a few times the minimum background). ... Briefly, the scattered light subtraction was done by registering the bright and dark images, subtracting the dark from the bright to remove the source, smoothing to remove any residual sources left over after the subtraction, and subtracting this smoothed sky image from the bright frame. ...
