We determine the dipole in the WISE (Wide Infrared Satellite Explorer) galaxy catalogue. After reducing star contamination to |1000 km s−1 if it is solely of kinematic origin. However, previous studies have shown that only | 70 per cent| of the velocity of the Local Group as inferred from the CMB dipole is due to sources at z 240 km s−1 extending to z > 0. 03) that we do. We construct mock catalogues in the neighbourhood of such peculiar observers in order to mimic our final galaxy selection and quantify the residual clustering dipole. After subtracting this, the remaining dipole is 0. 0048 ± 0. 0022, corresponding to a velocity of 420 ± 213 km s−1, which is consistent with the CMB. However, the sources (at z > 0. 03) of such a large clustering dipole remain to be identified.
