You can see the shells but faintly too. Colour of the stars and the background is near perfect in my opinion. Though I am not sure about the saturation of the Ha. It looks a little too much to me,
Overall a great image. I don't think there is any doubt that you captured the Ha jet well, least not in my opinion. Maybe your signal is a bit more blurred and that is what is looks like there might be more? 
It's got me thinking about a future project myself with the AG12. Like I said there is lots to like in this image. |
Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed the view, it is an unusual perspective on this often imaged galaxy and no other image, that I can find, shows
all the aspects revealed here.
Regarding the Ha jet, you are absolutely spot on with your assessment, it is pretty obvious
, the (spiteful) roll over only served to reinforce this
Yes, I can imagine what you might be planning, there are some options there
Mike
