Description: 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.
