The image is improvement by filling in the blank corner with the single channel of H-alpha data available. Further, the purple stars are tuned to white. This nebula glows brightly in H-alpha, other channel do not contribute much to it. The three filters used were f675w, f656n, and f555w. The wideband filters were useful for making the stars visible. Data from Anthony Moffat's proposals, <a href=" http://archive.stsci.edu/proposal_search.php?mission=hst&id=6787 " rel="nofollow">6787</a> and <a href=" http://archive.stsci.edu/proposal_search.php?mission=hst&id=11137 " rel="nofollow">11137</a>, were used.
