Centaurus A halo shells

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Scott Alder had a play with my Centaurus A Ultra Deep Field image using the minimum filter in PS and has come up with a version, while not asthetically to my liking as a complete artistic image especially around the dust lane, never the less highlights the halo shell structure and galactic cirrus nebulosity quite nicely!!

I had done something similar to this using the errosion filter in Astroart4 during my many processing runs but as mentioned I wasn't happy with the overall aesthetics so it went astray in the ether of my hard drive

Loving working with this data set

Thanks Scott

those halos were not discovered until recently i think...... remember reading something about it a couple years ago ........ feel free to correct me if i am wrong

Just goes to show what amatuers are capable of these days.
