Hi Jase
Well, I’m on 3rd cup of Earl Grey tea and 4th biscuit and I’m still mesmerised by this extraordinary image of M83, filling my 1600x1200 display. Actually, image is a somewhat inadequate word to use in describing this masterpiece; this is easily the best M83 portrait I have ever seen, simply breathtaking in its portrayal of this island universe.
I think that this is the only high resolution, large image scale M83 where I haven’t been aware of noise in the faint, outer regions. And the detail in the core – wow! The dust lanes, knots of stars and nebulosity are so strong and clear – no signs of any over processing. You have been very honest with the data and it clearly shows.
Move over Rob Gendler, there is a new kid on the block.
Cheers
Dennis
