Combining separate exposures to produce a color image Separate filter images Grayscale [HeII] F469N [OIII] F502N H F656N [NII] F658N Colorized Resulting color composite Separate images are exposed through different color filters. The resulting black and white or "grayscale" images are assigned a color that can be viewed or reproduced (that may or may not be the color of the filter used for the exposure). ... Using filters that match the eye's response can result in a natural or "true" color image. ...

... An Orion of a Different Color . ... It is a familiar object though, the grand stellar nursery known as the Orion Nebula . But the striking picture combines images taken through three separate filters, each designed to record different emission lines - light from Sulfur, Oxygen, and Hydrogen atoms glowing in the tenuous nebular gas. At such low densities , Sulfur and Hydrogen atoms emit red colors while Oxygen glows green. ... Publications with keywords: Orion Nebula . ... The Heart Of Orion . ...

Describes how spatial region boundaries are handled. The golden rule for spatial region filtering was first enunciated by Leon VanSpeybroeck in 1986: . ... With this in mind, the rules for determining whether a boundary image pixel or table row are assigned to a region are defined below. For image filtering, pixels whose center is inside the boundary are included. ... That is, an row is inside the boundary without regard to its integerized pixel value. ...

Each image is a ``true color'' composite of three monochromatic images, in which the red, green, and blue intensities each correspond to the intensity of one of the original images. ... The HST image is assembled from different filters than mine: red is Nitrogen [II] at 6583 , green is H-alpha at 6563 , and blue is O [III] at 5007 . ...

Exposures made with different narrow filters, as in this case , are translated to a visible color where shorter wavelengths are assigned bluer and longer wavelengths assigned redder colors. ...

... 295, 2003 H. E. Payne, R. I. Jedrzejewski, and R. N. Hook, eds. The MAST Pointings Tables Pro ject Karen Levay, Paolo Padovani1 , Randall Thompson, Megan Donahue, Michael Corbin Space Telescope Science Institute, 3700 San Martin Drive, Baltimore, MD 21218 Abstract. We have undertaken a pro ject to create a database of all HST imaging observations organized by position on the sky. ... Each sky region was called a "pointing." ... Users select the instrument pointings table they wish to search. ...

Astronomers usually measure the flux of an object by collecting light with a telescope, sending it through a known filter, and then determining the power. ... But astronomers usually give their photometric results in terms of magnitudes. ... Astronomers define an absolute magnitude that is independent of the distance of a star and only depends on the intrinsic properties of the object: the absolute magnitude is the magnitude the star would have if it were 10 parsecs away from the Earth. ...

RTT150 . ... This search system is designed for generating the necessary information on series of pointings (observations of each source consist of sets of exposures with different filters and sometimes with different exposure times) for observed sources. Search results appear at the separate page as a table with the following data: . DATE - real (not evening!) observations date (in YYYY-MM-DD format); . ... Bin - minimal CCD binning mode (may vary during the observations); . ...

Classroom Activity: Making a Rainbow . ... When white light from the Sun or a light bulb passes through a prism, the light splits into its component wavelengths. ... Red, blue, green colored filters - if possible, cut 1x4-inch pieces of the filters for each student . ... Many students have the misconception that filters somehow dye the light a certain color. ... Younger students can draw the rainbow and make up a mnemonic for remembering the order of the colors (such as, ROY G. BIV). ...

... The third processing stage filters the combined event list to produce the filtered event list, which contains the collection of node-specific exposure maps. ... Combining the event filtering with exposure map construction in one step assures mutual consistency. ... If the original combined event list is missing (as, for example, in the PPS) the original filtered event list is acceptable as a substitute if no changes have been made to the original attitude and housekeeping GTI. ...

... Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) . ... ESO - Public Surveys . ... the recommended values to use for DIT, . ... Detector on-chip integration (DIT): seconds. to your chosen value - a separate page gives recommended values to use for DIT - for modes 1 and 2 below you may wish to start with the maximum recommended values as these will minimize the effect of read noise (a total object exposure of Y secs with DIT=X secs will produce Y/X lots of read noise) and give you a lower limit on the time needed. ...
