NGC 3368
NGC 3368
35 million light-years
Image is 2.5 arcmin across (about 25,000 light-years)
The HST observations include those from the survey program 13364 (D. Calzetti/University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
F275W, F336W, F438W, F606W, F555W, F814W
These images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3 and ACS instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample narrow wavelength ranges. 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:
Magenta: F275W
Blue: F336W+F438W
Green: F555W or F606W
Red: F814W
