Description

This object is not easy to capture. I used Chilescope T2 to do that.

The resolution of this image is 0.9 arcsec/pixel. Compare with the size of the jets, it is not high enough. Thanks to the great seeing, I got excellent FWHM(<2). With special deconvolution technique, the details of the jets are revealed.

Maybe it will be better to use Chilescope T1(a 1-meter telescope) to capture this object again.
