    Hi Charlotte Barnard 2004

    Take a look at the Guide (at the end) : http://www.milkywayproject.org/#/guide

    (quote) Many of the images come from the edges of the dataset where there are one or more data channels missing. This produces triangular or zig-zag blocks of blue, yellow, or red. You don't need to mark these as artifacts because we know where the edges of the survey are. (unquote)
