But I am sure that you can do much better than this with your raw data.
I am quite certain that the "shells" or "steps" in the envelope are real, though I am not so certain about the reality of the unusual luminous extensions that seem to stretch a long way out into the field.

Hi Robert, I don't mind at all
Actually I am more than happy to send you a crop of the original fit unprocessed to you centered on the "shells" of IC1459 if you want to better analyzed it. I actually tried to do an extreme linear stretch on the reversed B&W luminance and I have to say that I get the impression that more than shell here we have extremely faint spiral arms.. It should be better take an image with a larger scope though to better see it..
In case you are interested just pm me..
