Images in NED are represented above as overlays in red on the 2MASS all-sky image above. Either type in a coordinate or click on any red region to get a close-up of the area; the size of the search region is adjustable. Please note that the above all-sky grid is in Galactic coordinates, however, the default coordinate search is done using Equatorial J2000, unless specified otherwise within the coordinate input string. This service is a collaborative project between the NED group and the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) group at the Infrared Processsing and Analysis Center (IPAC).
