About this image

Has anyone succeeded in imaging the jet in 3C273?

May be wishful thinking but I think something is beginning to appear in this image at the correct PA!

I see it - I'm convinced!

Hard to be certain but it seems very likely to me having looked at the AladinLite image.

Regardless, you have set me a new challenge for when I'm allowed to use my observatory again, so thanks!
