I am surprised by that VLT image. Unless the web posting is very compressed.

Stars are elongated and it has gradients in the background and detail is only average. Surprising. I guess everyone has a dud day every now and then.

Large size versions of the Leo Triplet image by the VLT Survey Telescope can be found at www.eso.org (http://www.eso.org)
The biggest version is 483 MB !!!
Incidentally, this telescope is not the VLT ......it is a recently completed 2.6m Survey Telescope that will be used for various specialized sky surveys. Imagine a 2.6m finder telescope!!

[ A similar telescope, VISTA, will be doing a high-resolution survey of the entire southern sky]
