Next: The stage and Up: The ESO Red Sky Previous: Artefacts . Fig. 3 shows the distribution of stars. The most striking feature is the rapid steepening of the density gradient towards the Milky Way region at the right and left hand edges of the total field, apparent from the dramatic change in colour in this false colour presentation. Noticable changes in star density across even short distances are indicated by colour changes within individual plates. ... Fig. ...
