Hi all,

It was a nice surprise to notice that my image of the Cat's Paw was used in this press release last year (https://alma-telescope.jp/en/news/press/band10-201811).

It's a bit funny that the footnote incorrectly states that the image was taken with the HST, while in fact I took this very image (https://www.spacetelescope.org/projects/fits_liberator/fitsimages/slawomir_lipinski_05/) with a 4" from the inner city in Brisbane :lol:

NASA credited themselves because I used Fits Liberator for initial data stretching.

I thought it was cool enough to share :thumbsup:

That is pretty cool Suavi! Would be nicer if you were credited though ;)

Well, my name is mentioned too, but it is incorrect that image was taken with the HST. I was silly enough to show it to my better half, and she said that clearly I do not need a better telescope anymore...:rolleyes:
