This image of the N44F interstellar bubble was taken with Hubble's
Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in March 2002, using filters that isolate


Very interesting, but I don't think that exposure date is correct; HST
did not do much science that month (SM3B).


The archive lists the images as taken on 25 March 2002, two weeks after
SM3B and apparently during the mild recommissioning for WFPC2.


Are you sure? I can't find any reference to the LMC during that
month apart from a STIS (sigh) observation. Looking up the proposal ID
(6698) states 25 March 2000, which is confirmed by daily report #2588.
