The reddish binary stars in the upper left seem to suggest a dawes limit
for
HST. Ya think?

The WFP camera on the HST undersamples the PSF. Sometimes, a processing
technique called drizzling is used to boost the resolution. Without
knowing more
about this image, however, it isn't possible to determine if you are up
against
the resolution limits of the scope or the camera. Do you have the link to
this
image that contains the image details?



What is PSF? Here is a link that may help.
