InstrumentHST>ACS/WFC and HST>WFPC2
Exposure DatesMarch 2006 and July 2008, Exposure Time: 2 hours
FiltersACS: F658N (H-alpha+[N II]) WFPC2: F502N ([O III]) and F673N ([S II])
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. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F502N ([O III]) Green: F658N (H-alpha+[N II]) Red: F673N ([S II])
