Hi Garyh,
Very nice picture, great detail and colour, with a good dark background it will be hard to improve on, and you are right re the Radio Galaxy bit, I used to have a phase switched interferometer with 2 x 20 foot stressed parabolic antennas, (Radio Astronomy) and Cent.A was always a good source to calibrate ones sensitivity with, It has a flux density of some 2211 Jy. (Janskys) at 600 Mhz. (I used this frequency) and was in the clear at this declanation (no other strong sources nearby) I dont have the interferometer now as there is too much Radio interference around.


cheers.........Jim
