Caption: Figure 2.

The 3–79 keV NuSTAR quick-look images in “sky” coordinates from HEASARC showing the stray light from GRS 1915+105 along with the X-rays from the targeted source for two epochs (the intended source target name is given in the figure titles). Unlike the point source, which is contained on one detector, the stray light spans multiple detectors on the NuSTAR focal plane.
