COMMENT   This file contains data from the Landecker and Wielebinski 150 MHz    
COMMENT   radio continuum all-sky map. Data for delta > 25 deg are extrapolated 
COMMENT   from 178 MHz (Turtle & Baldwin 1962, MNRAS 124, 297). Data for delta  
COMMENT   < -25 deg are extrapolated from 85 MHz (Yates et al. 1967, Aust. J.   
COMMENT   Phys., 21, 185). The data in Galactic coordinates were obtained from  
COMMENT   the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy Survey Sampler website   
COMMENT   and interpolated to a Galactic coordinate HEALPix projection.
