InstrumentHST>WFC3/IR and HST>WFC3/UVIS
Exposure DatesJuly/August, 2009, Exposure Time: 23 hours
FiltersWFC3/IR: F140W (JH) WFC3/UVIS: F438W (B), F606W (V), F657N (H-alpha + [N II]), F665N (H-alpha + [N II]), and F814W (I)
About The Image
Color InfoThe image is a composite of separate exposures made by the WFC3 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Six filters were used to sample broad and narrow wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F438W (B) Green: F606W (V) Red: F140W (JH) + F657N (H-alpha + [N II]) + F665N (H-alpha + [N II]) + F814W (I)
