CCD Long-Pass Imaging F28X50LP
Description
The F28X50LP mode is useful for deep imaging longward of 5500 Å. The field of view is 28" × 50". The ACS/WFC with the F814W filter will be more appropriate for most programs.
Recommended Uses
This filter is recommended for deep high-resolution imaging between 5500 Å and 10,000 Å. Default aperture for target acquisitions.
Special Considerations
Very red sources may show significant wings from detector halo (see Section 7.2.8).
