Hi Alun,

M87 could be a very interesting target. I have no idea whether the features, like the plume or jet, are within reach of our spectroscopes. If they are then the results would be fascinating. The central black hole might show broad emission lines due to fast rotating gas, while a jet might show a big blueshift.

Cheers,

Andy
