Thanks for your comments Robert.

One way of dealing with the "authenticity" is to process the raw data of the ESO image and let ESO decide.....

This has been done in the past.
I'll send an E-mail to Lars Lindberg Christensen at ESO to request their raw data.

I've taken the Virgo Cluster images and applied my pixel mapping routine.

Attachment 1 is the original image.
Attachment 2 is 7 iterations of my pixel mapping routine to Attachment 1 revealing the diffuse light.
Attachment 3 is the original push processed image.
