Example of our patch extraction and projection scheme for MICE. The upper panel shows the original extent of the patch, which lies within 34.9° ≤ RA ≤ 45.0°, 55.3° ≤ Dec ≤ 60.4°. This area is projected into the region enclosed by the dashed line in the lower panel of the tangent space. The bounded inner square represents the 25 deg² area for which we generate the multiscale maps and compute peak histograms.
