Summary[edit]
| Description |
Intermediate age globular cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud. I tried to guess a little better at what color this thing should be overall instead of going about it in a wholly arbitrary way but it's still just a guess, even though I tried to use some math. I should probably find someone to ask for a clue on this because there must be a way to process things more accurately. It looks a bit yellowish. If I had done this the way I usually do globular clusters, I would have made the overall color be as close to neutral as possible. Some especially red stars are almost invisible in the blue channel, shining most strongly in the near-infrared wavelength (F814W). There is a small group of blue stars at the lower edge of the frame. A tantalizing spiral galaxy is peeking out from behind a couple of bright stars near the middle right edge of the frame. Conveniently, three wideband channels of color were available which is invariably more pleasant to look at than a two channel image with an interpolated green channel. These data were collected by the Hubble Space Telescope as part of Proposal 10595 - A Reference Database for Accurate Ages and Metallicities of Globular Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds Red: HST_10595_07_ACS_WFC_F814W_sci Green: HST_10595_07_ACS_WFC_F555W_sci Blue: HST_10595_07_ACS_WFC_F435W_sci North is NOT up. It is 37.6° clockwise from up. |
