The six centers (poles) for the projections are the north and south galactic poles and at l = 0°, 90°, 180°, 270° along the plane.

You may preview the 6 regions in 6 energy bands:

l = 0°, b = 0° (Galactic Center recion)
l = 90°, b = 0° (Cygnus region)
l = 180°, b = 0° (Galactic Anti-Center region)
l = 270°, b = 0° (Vela region)
l = 0°, b = +90° (North Galactic Pole region)
l = 0°, b = -90° (South Galactic Pole region)

The FITS files itself are sorted accordingly and are available from a separate page.
