A wonderfully successful experiment, Suavi.

In your H-alpha image, the jet appears to be a much longer, more coherent, single entity, whereas in colour shots it's more of a couple independent streaks.

Brilliant!

Given that in colour shots the jet tends to be blue, I wonder if it shows specifically OIII emission, or whether the blue has some other origin, like the blue synchrotron radiation on the Crab nebula.
