We got some more data from our Chile remote observatory and I processed it and found that the image showed the jet that is coming from the black hole in the core of this galaxy.

Very cool that certainly shows how good the conditions are there and of course how good the equipment was too. grin

Comparison of our relatively short exposure with a 50 hour exposure taken by the 90inch scope at La Scilla in Chile (on the mountain just down the coast from ours).

Yeah I know, we just need to try harder next time, ours was barely 2 hours total exposure.
