Description

Coming to you straight from the Cosmos is the fourth brightest radio signal source in the sky, Fornax A. However, if you are like me and live in the Northern Hemisphere you wouldn't know this because this is strictly a Southern Hemisphere target that is not accessible to people like me in the Great White North. Thankfully we have remote telescopes for just such a problem.

I think this rounds off my Christmas processing spree. It's a shame that I didn't have my own data to work with, but my gear is currently in Texas to serve a higher purpose come April.

There is a lot of dynamic range in this target and it was tricky to maintain it while also keeping as much as the structure as I could, given the limited data.
