This image was processed with data provided by the Las Cumbres Observatory. The Principal Investigator for this data set was
BJ Fulton. This image included data collected with B, V and I' filters. The data comes from 1 m telescopes at the Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory and the South African Astronomical Observatory.
Individual images acquired with the following filters were stacked to generate the final image.
Red: SDSS I' (centered at 7545 and with a width of 1290 Angstroms): 9.3 hrs
Green: Bessell V (centered at 5448 and with a width of 840 Angstroms): 5 hours
Blue: Bessell B (centered at 4361 and with a width of 890 Angstroms): 4.6 hrs
