| Instrument | HST>ACS |
| Exposure Dates | March 28, 2004, Exposure Time: 35 minutes |
| Filters | F606W (R) and F814W (I) |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | These images are composites of several separate exposures made by the ACS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Two filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges for each image. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are orange/yellow for the I-band (F814W) and cyan/blue for the wide V-band (F606W) filter. The images have been further adjusted so the colors more closely resemble their true visual appearance, particularly the red hydrogen emission of the star-forming regions. Cyan: F606W (R) Yellow: F814W (I) |
