Reconstructed data cube from all central exposures, covering ∼240″ × 210″, flux summed over 2.29−2.365μm. The left panel uses all available data, i.e. the full data cube. The right panel is the data cube after removing foreground and background stars based on their colour, and stars brighter than K = 11.5^m, i.e. the cleaned data cube. It contains only light from faint member stars. The red point denotes Sgr A*. The maps are oriented with the Galactic plane horizontally and Galactic north up and Galactic east left. The arrows indicate the orientation in the equatorial system. Both images are in the same linear flux scaling.
