| About The Image | |
| Color Info | These images are each composites of separate exposures acquired by the ACS/WFC instrument. Two filters were used to sample different wavelength bands. 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: Cyan-blue: F606W (wide V) Red-orange: F814W (I) |
