Caption: Figure 9.

Perspective view from almost normal to the supergalactic plane, again corrected for incompleteness and represented by isodensity contours. The Local Supercluster is seen to be of modest importance. The Great Wall is dominant in this volume especially in the vicinity of the Hercules Cluster. The Sculptor (Southern) Wall separates from the Perseus–Pisces chain in this view.
