Filter Selection
The choice of filters is a compromise between depth and the desire for
color information. Roughly 35 each hours are spent observing with the
the wide optical filters F450W, F606W, and F814W
(where the numbers are the central wavelengths of the filters
in nanometers). Observation with F300W use approximately 50 hours.
