A cut out image in VG band (480x480 pixel) is provided at the link below (N is up, E is left and the scale is 0.215"/pix).
The photometric calibrations and conversion to APASS filters were obtained using
the Cambridge Photometric Calibration Server (CPCS), designed and maintained by Sergey Koposov and Lukasz Wyrzykowski.
