Notice the red
star ( a variable star FI Hydrae) lying northeast of M68
(up and to the left). The image on the left is a
standard tri-color CCD image with photometric R, V, and
B filters. The image on the right has the I (near
infrared) filter substituted for the R filter. Note how
bright the star is in the infrared. |
