Release Date: November 20, 2008

Color: The 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.One filter was used to sample broad wavelengths. ________________________The color results from assigning different hues (colors) ________________________to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are:

ACS F658N (H-alpha + [N II]) red
ACS F606W (wide V) green/cyan
WFPC2 F502N ([O III]) cyan
WFPC2 F487 (H-beta) blue
