NGC 4402 - Hubble

NGC 4402 and edge on spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo.

 

This Data was taken from the Hubble Legacy Archive and processed by me.

 

First time trying out processing Hubble Data. I still need to find a way of removing the hotpixels. They are especially noticable in a stripe from the top to the bottom in the middle of the image. This is because Hubbles Sensor is made up of two sensors and that stripe is the seam between these two.

 

Based on observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, and obtained from the Hubble Legacy Archive, which is a collaboration between the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI/NASA), the Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility (ST-ECF/ESA) and the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC/NRC/CSA).
