Thanks Matt, Yes Cen A is characterised by the glow from the core behind the dust lane and although it is generally necessary to supress it somewhat, in order to reveal the edge detail of the dust Lane, it is important to retain some of it or you risk losing the spherical ball effect and flattening the galaxy or worse, giving it a hollowed out appearence.
