Abstract Calibration observation 3 - 2nd part: 135 ksec observation 7.4 degree offset from Cygnus X-1. Observation executed after formal end of Commissioningphase. This completes the 270ksec required to study the PSF, extended and diffuse emission,line emission, imaging capabilities in crowded fields, crosscalibratoin and demonstration of IBIS imagingcapability in dither mode. In addition is this observation suitable to study the background evolution.

Mission Description The INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on October 17, 2002, was designed to study high-energy phenomena in the universe. INTEGRAL was operating until february 2025 and it was equipped with three high-energy instruments: the Imager on Board the INTEGRAL Satellite (IBIS), the Spectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI), and the JEM-X (Joint European Monitor for X-rays). Its Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) provided optical V-band magnitude measurements, complementing the high-energy observations.
