NGC 1210 - a shell galaxy

Hi to all

I've been working on this one for a while and unfortunately it coincided with a some scope problems I've been having which required me to throw away a lot of data. Also the seeing was pretty bad when I did the colour. Shell galaxies are elliptical galaxies with faint concentric shells and were discovered in the eighties by David Malin. NGC 1210 is a pretty good example.

Cheers

Steve
