Description

My first try on such a "boring supergiant elliptical galaxy".

As you can see I had a hard time processing it and this was the point I gave up.

Nervertheless I caught that jet and I am asking myself if this blue dots are the surrounding globulars?!

(see revision B)

Guiding and collimation were really bad, please forgive me that.
