"Colour image of the Deep 3 'empty' field observed with the Wide-Field
Camera on the MPG/ESO 2.2-m telescope at La Silla. The image is the
combination of 714 frames for a total exposure time of 64.5 hours obtained
through four different filters (B, V, R, and I). It consists of four
adjacent Wide-Field Camera pointings (each 33x34 arcmin), covering a total
area larger than one square degree.The original image - whose resolution is
conserved in the zoom-in version and in PR Photo 14b/06 and 14c/06 -
consists of about 300 million pixels. "

Enjoy!
