Attached is a mid-sized image of this busy galaxy.
Extragalactic jets, a super massive black hole, intense star forming regions, and a water vapor maser can all be found in this one galaxy.

Beautiful shot Dan!
It is amazing to think about the time invested in all these shots... you've spent 7 1/2 hours in this object alone! 8O

Thanks for the hard work, and for sharing! wink
