The description isn't very clear on what section of the image is designated as Baade's Window. Is it one of these sections drawn in below, or yet another region?

Thanks for the annotated image, Qev. I guess the reason I was (am) a bit confused is that I expect to see 'something' that differentiates the window from the region immediately adjacent and I don't see that.Qev wrote:I can't quite figure out what the reference to the "right side" of the image is about in the writeup for that APoD, since unless I'm completely off-base, Baade's Window comprises the area within about half a degree around NGC 6522. It's basically just a low-density region in the gas clouds in the plane of the Milky Way, allowing us to see into the bright, star-packed region very close to the galactic center.
On the other site I linked to in my previous post, bear in mind the images there are rotated 180 degrees from the APoD picture, so 'up' there is 'down' here. I've stuck a version of the APoD image with a couple labels on it to make comparing the two a bit easier, here. Zoom levels 4 and 5 annotated on the other site give the best idea of where it is.
