<p>Here is an email from a colleague concerning that:</p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>According to the MAST database, NGC40 was observed before with HST instruments GHRS and WFPC2, the latter being a project led by a STScI scientist! Even though it was targeted on the central stars of PNe, such as NGC40, the WFPC2 should in principle have recovered a bit of the nebula itself. Admittedly, it would not have been an image suitable for presentation for the public, as it was obtained in a broadband filter in a short integration time, and not in the light of e.g. [OIII] or H-alpha. But the statement, Hubble has not stared at this object is simply wrong! </DIV><br /><br />So it has been looked at but it wasn't a pretty image apparently. I'm going to be voting for something that truly hasn't been looked at yet...not sure which one yet though<br /><p> </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
