M87 with Jet

This image is a stack of 44 images of 30 second exposures taken with an SBIG ST10XME CCD camera cooled to -20 deg C through a Celestron 14" SCT. The image was calibrated using 20 darks, 20 flats, 20 dark flats and 20 bias frames.

All calibration, stretching, smoothing and cropping done with ImagePlus 4.0

You can clearly see the jet coming out of the nucleus of the galaxy.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
