Serpens star forming region

The figure shows the Serpens star-forming region, as it was imaged during commissioning, on HAWK-I's four large infrared detectors. The gap between them is real, and multiple exposures are required to make a filled-in picture. The colour composite was created from images taken through three filters, J, H and K.
