Full-Color Mosaic Pictures for CDF-S and HDF-N . ... Here we present full-color images for the first 3 epochs of both the CDF-S and HDF-N, based on the combined mosaic fits files for the b,v,i and z bands. ... The process of producing combined mosaics for each epoch begins with the fully reduced single-epoch tiles, as produced by Anton's MultiDrizzle script running in Harry's automated GOODS pipeline. These are the tiles that are currently available as the GOODS v0.5 science products. ...
