Description

This is a combined image developed from three sources. The primary color palette comes from my tone map of Thor’s Helmet Hubble Palette image (http://www.astrobin.com/82529/). The luminosity layer is a greyscale version of an image from NOAO/AURS/NSF SSRO/PROMPT/CTIO (http://www.noao.edu/image_gallery/html/im1106.html). The colored stars also came from the original NOAO image.

Additional data was added to the image from the GLIMPSE360 Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared image of the Galactic Plane (Courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech - http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/glimpse360/wwt).
