True-colour (J,H,K) near-infrared image of Sharpless 140. J-, H-, and K-band data taken in October 1994 using the 256x256 pixel University of Hawaii infrared camera on the UH 88 inch telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Image is a 24-bit combination of three individual broad-band near-infrared images (each one a mosaic of many sub-images), namely J-band (1-1.3 microns, blue), H-band (1.4-1.8 microns, green), and K-band (2.0-2.4 microns, red).

True-colour (J,K,L) near-infrared image of the Orion Nebula and Trapezium Cluster. Field-of-view 5x5 arcmin (0.65x0.65pc at 450pc). North up, east left. J- and K-band data taken in January 1994 using the 256x256 pixel MAGIC infrared camera on the Calar Alto 3.5-m telescope in Spain; L-band data taken in December 1994 using the 256x256 pixel NSFCAM infrared camera on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility in Hawaii. Image is a 24-bit combination of three individual broad-band near-infrared images (each one a mosaic of many sub-images), namely J-band (1-1.3 microns, blue), K-band (2.0-2.4 microns, green), and L-band (3.2-3.6 microns, red).
