| Exposure Dates | December 2005 – May 2016 |
| Filters | HST>ACS/WFC: F435W (B), F606W (R), and F814W (I) HST>WFC3/IR: F105W (Y), F125W (J), F140W (JH), and F160W (H) |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | These images are composites of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3/IR and ACS/WFC instruments. Several filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: ACS/WFC F435W (B) + F606W (R) Green: ACS/WFC F814W (I) + WFC3/IR F105W (Y) Red: WFC3/IR F125W (J) + F140W (JH) + F160W (H) |
