ACS mosaics

See the press release for color images which were created with the ACS/WFC F502N and F658N mosaics, for example this color composite. Click to enlarge these:

• F502N mosaic: greyscale, inverted greyscale, or blackbody (shown above)
• F658N mosaic: greyscale, inverted greyscale, or blackbody (shown above)

The following "road maps" intentionally highlight the relationship of the individual exposures, the nebula, the stars, the cosmic rays, etc:

• F502N road map (also see labelled version)
• F658N road map (also see blackbody version)
