But I really like the very, very faint stuff captured in your image.

Thanks Allan. I did a repro and you are right there was a lot of detail in the core area. In fact the shell structure came out very clearly so the remnants of the swallowed galaxy are visible plus the dust lanes and shell structure very much like the Cent A super long exposure images show.
Same link.
