This image represents the sum of three separate pictures taken through
filters that capture emission for water ions (at a wavelength of 6198 A),
dust (at 6050 A), and sodium gas (at 5893 A). The brightest portions of
each of these emissions are shown using red, blue and yellow colors, respectively.
The sodium tail has been artificially enhanced to make it more visible.
