$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[height=13.45cm,width=13.5cm,clip]{cuen_aitoff.1.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 1: Aitoff projection in galactic coordinates (up) and equatorial coordinates (down) of the 2MASS/"All-sky release'' galaxy counts with m_K<13.5; average: 14.4 galaxies/deg². Galaxies were counted in square regions of 3 deg $\times$ 3 deg. A smoothing of the map was carried out. Black color stands for regions with very few galaxies, and high density is represented by white color. Extinction effects are negligible in the fluctuations. Poissonian noise is not negligible but it is relatively small compared to the intrinsic fluctuations due the large scale-structure (see text).

Binning step: 10. For comparison, we plot a negative binomial distribution (Betancort-Rijo 2000) with the same average and variance as the data.
