| Filters | F300W (Wide U), F336W (U), F475W (SDSS g) For image: F475W (SDSS g), F555W (V), and F814W (I) |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | This image is a composite of many separate exposures made by the ACS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope using three different filters to sample broad wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F475W (SDSS g) Green: F555W (V) Red: F814W (I) |
