Hickson Compact Group 40 - a photo on Flickriver

Hubble turned 32 yesterday. This was the target chosen to celebrate that event. Tight groupings such as this are a relatively rare sight, and this one is so compact that there are multiple overlapping galaxies along our line of sight.

Anyway, just thought I'd share my version of it. I wanted to show it with a lighter background and a more gentle touch on the color saturation levels. There's an H-alpha filter available. I chose not to use it.

You can see the official version over yonder.

Red: WFC3/UVIS F814W
Green: WFC3/UVIS F606W
Blue: WFC3/UVIS F475W

North is NOT up. It is 41.6° counter-clockwise from up.
