| Instrument | HST>ACS/WFC, HST>WFC3/UVIS, and HST>WFC3/IR |
| Exposure Dates | Sept. 2002 - Dec. 2004, Exposure Time: 96 orbits (ACS) and Sept. 6, 2009 - Oct. 11, 2009, Exposure Time: 104 orbits (WFC3) |
| Filters | WFC3/IR: F098M, F125W, and F160W ACS/WFC: F435W, F606W, F775W, and F850LP WFC3/UVIS: F225W, F275W, and F336W |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | The image is a composite of separate exposures made by the WFC3 and ACS instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. In total, 10 filters were used to sample a very wide wavelength range. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to combinations of the monochromatic images. In this case, the assigned colors are: Red: WFC3/IR F125W + F160W Green: ACS/WFC F606W + F775W + F850LP + WFC3/IR F098M Blue: WFC3/UVIS F225W + F275W + F336W + ACS/WFC F435W |
