L-band imaging with NIX of the Galactic Centre. Left: adapted from Reid et al. (2007) showing the maser stars within 20″ of Sgr A* on a K-band image, with their velocities in the plane of the sky. Right: central 22.8″ of the L-band NIX image obtained using an autojitter sequence, highlighting stars and warm dust. Diffraction rings can be seen around the brighter more isolated stars, even towards the edge of the field. Six stars for which the corresponding masers are indicated, allow the orientation and plate scale of the camera to be verified.
