Compositing geometry in the NGC 2024 region between data from Lombardi et al. (2014) and Könyves et al. (2020), for column density (left) and dust temperature (right). The outer contour is the one in which the compositing is executed. The “selection area” over which the K20 datasets are rescaled to match the L14 ones corresponds to the outer contour minus the inner, hashed area (affected by the artifact in L14 and masked out). The full maps corresponding to these zoom-ins can be found in Fig. C.2
