Distance modulus comparison between VVV based distances adopted here and WISE-based ones. Left: Distance modulus comparison for Miras with WISE photometry available. Miras are shown in dots colored by the error in the WISE based distance modulus. The dashed gray line shows a 1:1 relation between modulus. Blue squares show the median per bin. Middle panels: VVV images in the H band of two Miras in our catalog. Right panels: WISE images in the W1 band of the same Miras as the middle panels. Here, the blending caused by the larger PSF from WISE is clear.
