Description

A 44.7 hours exposure of this unique target!

We can see a clear "S" shape dust belt in the center of the galaxy, and a lot of shell-like structures near the center. Besides, there are also plenty of faint tidal structures been revealed. A red jet is captured at the left bottom of the galaxy, which is known as some features of feedback of AGN.

Because this target is near from the milky way, so there are also lots of faint dust clouds in the background. What a fantastic field!

Thanks to all members of our Interestar Cen A Team! They are: 宋傲翀, 花落, 代玲, 小杨, 祺, 芒格, 奥了个利 and 刘卓楷. Without their contribution, we can't get such a high-quality image!
