Description

This image of M 87 has been taken by Serge Brunier who sent me the data for processing. There was a strange gradient across the field which I corrected using a synthetic flat.

I tried to show both the plasma jet and the numerous faint globular clusters (mag. 21 to 22).

The seeing was not good, but The globular clusters are visible.

Hope you like this close up.
