Edge-on Spiral Galaxy ESO 243-49 (NASA)

I downloaded the Large (952.0 kB) image as distributed by our friends at
NASA http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/exotic/pr2012011b/
read about the galaxy here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLX-1
It's a strong candidate for an intermediate mass black hole @ 10^2 - 10^5 M☉


I applied my magical enhancement protocol (mep) and here's what percolated to the surface. Remember; no colorization, no solarization and no edge detection. A bit of sharpening (as a final touch) but no edge detect and
no saturation adjustment (up or down) - all "au naturale" - as generated by
my mep.

Not sure what to make of it .. if anything! As always; I encourage your comments. Keep em coming!
