| Notes | This page shows
a compilation of 3 images compiled from two sets of data fading in and
out using JavaScript code written by Brandon Levinger. The base image, an LRGB version of M1 is used for the initial build and for the background stars in the narrowband images. The narrowband data was used to create one image in the Hubble Palette and one image in the CFHT Palette.  |
