Description

Rain and rain in Manchester, I haven't been able to go out with my scope in the last three weeks or so! On the bright side I've discovered the Hubble Legacy Archive and managed to download a few images. Not sure what I've done here...I've randomly assigned to red and blue the first and third layer inside the fits file. The supposedly green channel (the second layer in the fits file) had very small stars (maybe it's a narrowband acquisition?) that caused all the stars in the composite RGB to be red..so I've created a synthetic green channel from red and blue and I've used the second layer of the fits file to enhance the red channel of the RGB composite.
