- Composite near-infrared intensity observed by the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) instrument on
the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) in the 1.25, 2.2, and 3.5 micron wavelength bands. The images are encoded in
the blue, green, and red color ranges, respectively.

Another histogram just showing saturation at inner longitudes,
with source counts extrapolated to fainter magnitudes.
This figure is a good argument for doing 2 sec rather than
12 sec exposures. With 2 sec exposures, only 2-3 sources will
saturate per IRAC field, even in the inner parts of the Plane.
