About The Image
Color InfoThe image is a composite of separate exposures made by the ACS and WFPC2 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Three filters were used to sample narrow-wavelength ranges. One filter was used to sample broad wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Red: F658N (H-alpha + [N II]) Green/cyan: F606W (wide V) Cyan: F502N ([O III]) Blue: F487 (H-beta)
