So then I went to the The STScI Digitized Sky Survey and downloaded one of their images of M-87 and saw no jet there either. So I'm guessing getting the jet's picture is not easy.
That is such an intriguing question I went and tracked down a web answer and was given this link to an amateur image of the jet in M87: http://astronomy-mall.com/Adventures.In.Deep.Space/m87jet.htm Healy used a "Meade 16-inch at f/6, 30 minute exposure with the ST-8 CCD, and processed in MaxIm DL 2.0 using 'digital development' a process like unsharp masking which greatly reduces the enormous range of contrast between the jet and the halo." - Kurt _______________________________________________ Sent via CSolutions - http://www.csolutions.net
