Photography of Greeley Haven Mars HD Panorama Virtual Tour - photoJPL.com .:: How to Process Your Own Colour Images from Hubble Data. The Hubble Space Telescope uses a number of different filters when taking images of objects. The best wideband filters for the production of colour images are F435W, F439W, F450W, F555W, F606W, F675W, F702W, F791W, and F814W. Narrowband filters used include F437N, F502N, F656N, F658N, and F673N. The numerical value designates the central passband of the filter measured in nanometres (F435W for example is a 435 nm wideband filter.) 1Locate the fourth image in the result for the search of NGC 604 above and you will find the file name "hst_05237_02_wfpc2_f814w_wf" below it.
