Top left panel: central 40′ × 40′ of the VST optical image in SDSS r band of CIG 96. The SB is indicated on top of the figure in mag arcsec⁻² (SDSS r band) favouring the levels that enhance the Galactic cirrus located in the field of our galaxy, which show up from μ_{r SDSS}≃ 28.5 mag arcsec⁻². Top right panel: background, the same 40′ × 40′ VST optical image as in top left panel; foreground, overlay of WISE band 3 (12 μm) smoothed image contours (Gaussian kernel of 21 pixel radius). Bottom left panel: 40′ × 40′ Planck857 GHz image of CIG 96. The dashed white square indicates the approximate area selected for the bottom images. Bottom right panel: background, 12′ × 12′ Planck857 GHz image; foreground, 25.0, 26.0, 27.0, 27.5 mag arcsec⁻² smoothed (Gaussian kernel of 7 pixel radius) optical contours from VST image (SDSS r band).
