Apparent magnitude as a function of Galactic latitude for the stars in the peaks with 130° <  l <  150°. Left: data. Right: mock. The histograms are normalised such that the sum of all pixels in a given bin of b adds up to unity. A conspicuous overdensity of stars can be clearly seen appearing at G ∼ 16 mag and extending from 15° <  b <  40°. The horizontal lines are taken from Fig. 4 and represent the latitude limits of MNC and the ACS as seen in the sky.
