COMMENT Reddening Maps to 4.5 kpc from PS1 Data                                 
COMMENT NOTE: reddenings in the PS1 bands are the most direct observable.       
COMMENT These are transformed to E(B-V)_SFD via Schlafly & Finkbeiner (2011).   
COMMENT The resulting map is expected to have the same overestimation of E(B-V) 
COMMENT by 14% that the Schlegel, Finkbeiner, and Davis (1998) map has, and     
COMMENT should be transformed for use in other bands with the same coefficients
