Tarantula Reprocessed

Posted By Steven Juchnowski

My previous submission for the Tarantula wasn't quite right for colour balance so here is the reprocessed image.

Apart for colour balance correction, a high/low pass filter combination was applied, to make the image slightly sharper without incorporating extra noise into the image.

NGC1316/17

Posted By Steven Juchnowski

This is an interacting pair of galaxies and one of the most powerful radio sources in the sky known as Fornax A.

The dust lanes in NGC1316 are very rare for an elliptical galaxy. NGC1317 is a tight spiral.
