Centaurus A halo shells

[strongmanmike]

Scott Alder had a play with my Centaurus A Ultra Deep Field image using the minimum filter in PS and has come up with a version, while not asthetically to my liking as a complete artistic image especially around the dust lane, never the less highlights the halo shell structure and galactic cirrus nebulosity quite nicely!!

I had done something similar to this using the errosion filter in Astroart4 during my many processing runs but as mentioned I wasn't happy with the overall aesthetics so it went astray in the ether of my hard drive :)

Loving working with this data set :)

Thanks Scott

those halos were not discovered until recently i think...... remember reading something about it a couple years ago ........ feel free to correct me if i am wrong

Just goes to show what amatuers are capable of these days.
