Another go at M87's Back Hole Jet

Here is the central massive elliptical galaxy in the Virgo Cluster. M87 is huge and has an active nucleus (supermassive black hole) that is producing a visible jet as well as two much more distant radio lobes. The jet is detectable on fairly short exposure images, such as the 22 15-second exposures used to produce this image. The area in the photo includes two other galaxies of the Virgo cluster. I avoided using guiding, and rejected a few images with motion blur during the stacking (production of the final image).
