Summary

Description
English: The nebula M1-67 surrounds exploding star Wolf-Rayet 124. From the Hubble Legacy Archive. Processing by Judy Schmidt. Please see this HubbleSite release for further information about this object. http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1998/38/image/a/

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.

North is NOT up. It is 131.4° counter-clockwise from up.
