Description

This is my first attempt to show the plasma jet streaming out of M87, caused by the supermassive black hole inside the galaxy.

The processing was especially done for this visualization

The jet is the tiny streak at top right of the Galaxy core. The Galaxy is much larger, but I kept exposure time extra short and applied negative stretching in order not to overexpose the core.

I will try it again when the moonlight is out of the way.

P.S The dim Stars/Galaxies at the bottom half are magnitude up to 17.25
