The Dwarf Galaxy NGC 1569

336wmos.zip:A zip'ped FITS file taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 camera of the dwarf galaxy NGC1569 through a wide-band 336 nm filter (Ultraviolet, U band). 6.2 MB
555wmos.zip:A zip'ped FITS file taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 camera of the dwarf galaxy NGC1569 through a wide-band 555 nm filter (V band). 6.5 MB
656nmos.zip:A zip'ped FITS file taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 camera of the dwarf galaxy NGC1569 through a narrow-band 656 nm filter (H-alpha). 6.2 MB
814wmos.zip; A zip'ped FITS file taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 camera of the dwarf galaxy NGC1569 through a narrow-band 658 nm filter (Infrared, I band). 6.5 MB

ngc1569_composite.zip: A zip'ped Photoshop 16 bit (.psd) example file that contains a full colour image of the datasets taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the dwarf galaxy NGC1569, imported into Photoshop with the ESA/ESO/NASA Photoshop FITS Liberator, 43.4 MB.
The four layer have been given hues evenly spread over the spectrum. You can of course change this and make other choices, for instance to exclude either the ultraviolet og the infrared exposure.

ngc1569_composite_8bit.zip: A zip'ped Photoshop 8 bit (.psd) example file that contains a full colour image of the datasets taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the dwarf galaxy NGC1569, imported into Photoshop with the ESA/ESO/NASA Photoshop FITS Liberator, 18.7 MB.
