Another link. I'm not sure if it's better or worse, but I usually check hubble stuff from there.
At any rate, absolutely amazing images. For me, the best image was the one where it managed to resolve stars in Stephan's Quintet!

The Bug Nebula appears even more splattered and Stephen's Quintet is just WOW.

That 6th galaxy behind stephen's quintet (edge on) is so clear.
Again, for emphasis, WOW.

Unbelievable, I need to get my hands on a few billion dollars so I can launch my own scope.

I may never look at Stephen's Quintet again after seeing that Hubble image - absolutely fantastic!

What a great image!
Which of the four large galaxies in the frame is not like the other?
You don't need to know anything about the redshifts to see that NGC 7320 (top left galaxy) is well in the foreground. Unlike the other galaxies in the field, it is resolved into thousands of stars. The color suggests that the starlight is passing through quite a bit less obscuration than the other galaxies, which are yellow-orange.
