Description

Here's messier 87 captured from sierra remote observatories with the 16" RCOS. Tried my best to HDR the jet back in, which proved really difficult since the gradient from m87 is very smooth. Its almost impossible to mask it in! I settled for using a little bit of the larson sekanina filter to show it in more contrast. If you want this data set and others, they are available through the SRO virtual astronomer program!
