Andromeda is Huge!

ANDROMEDA'S SUPERSIZE, AS SEEN IN A PHOTO BY GENE HUNTER

Hello Gene... notes ... I started out looking for gravity waves (none found) then concentrated on Andromeda's superform, substantial evidence now accumlated with your image the kicker starting an accumulating of examples. I hope you do not mind that along the way, in the text, I started describing you in the 3rd person.

HUNTER ANDROMEDA IMAGE

I was unable to detect any trace of gravity waves. What is interesting in your image is the size and scale of Andomeda. Other Andromeda images, shown further below, show a large superform in varying degrees of clarity. None of the superforms is consistently the same image to image, which I am assuming is due to different frequencies and medias used to capture the image, it is probably tied to exposure time in that the dim medias comprising the superform seem really dim.

Hunter original.



In all of the images to follow I threw away the rule books and looked for anything large scale using any enhancing enhancing technique that produced interesting results. One of the techniques was to adjust the image via Histogram Equalize, then produce a negative version, usually very dark, which brightened via Gamma Correction and in each instant showed superform structures, although the structures did vary noticably one image to another. These so adjusted images have a strange look, as you will see.

Color view highly enhanced with color adjustors and gamma.



Hunter image, via histogram, negative, and gamma.



A darker view - less gamma.



Each of the above was reduced to 610x410 for maximum screen display, the size did not seem to matter in that your image (as to be expected due to camera size) does not reveal more details of outstanding note the larger the size.

Yours in green shows the strongest superform. Click for green original full size.

The Andromeda superform is not inconsistent with a partial elliptical galaxy such as the Sombrero ( 3d-somb1.htm,   3d-sombr.htm,   Centaurus A is also partially elliptical with a spread out canted (sloping) halo.

Outline similar to a partial elliptical galaxy. Click for large image.



The Hunter image contains a large value object near and to the left of M110, the object is nearly the size of M110 and may be a dwarf galaxy farther back in deep space obscured by foreground dust and haze. The object was not readily visible in normal light but did appear in a histrogram-negative image combination.



The same object has also been seen in a noao image maniaclly enhanced in green, which proves the object exists.



Hunter view of the vague object at left, Noao view at right. The small colored center in identical location in each view could be concidered a galaxy's bright core.



GENDLER ANDROMEDA IMAGE

Gendler's image shows a huge nether realm below the right flank which may be ghostly residuals of a former collision with another large galaxy, perhaps triangulum. Click for Gendler original.





Gendler's image, highly enhanced, clearly shows horizontal flukes below the right flank of Andromeda. This is a major formation in scale about as large as the bulk in the visible plate deck to the right of the core.

Next - Gendler in histogram and negative. Nether realm horizontal flukes are easily seen at right of M110.



This second darker version shows shows that there is noticable (unresolved) textures in the upper left, these are deep space or Andromeda the resolution can tell neither.



Texture in the deep space setting of Andromeda has been seen elsewhere. The Galex telescope ultra violet image shows hatching in the lower portion to the right of M110.



Another image (source unknown) shows strong rastering in cross thatching patterns in the upper left.



Rastering is also seen in the Triangulum galaxy region, at the top of the view next featuring object Ngc 604 which is attached to Triangulum. Triangulum is a distant neighbor of Andromeda.



A rastering seems imbedded in the dusty regions of local deep space in which are Andromeda and the Milky Way. A Noao image of the LMC and SMC dwarf galaxies shows a deep space riddled with vertical rastering, which could be assumed to be highly excited gravity waves in irregular grills - Lcm is at left, Scm is at right, both are small.



See more gravity waves at Noao.htm.

WARE (HUBBLE) ANDROMEDA IMAGE

Next is a Ware image using Hubble. It became too blurry to be usable using histogram and negative, this view is histogram only, showing superform features more consistent with the Gendler image, ie, strong show of substance bias in the right below the main deck and to the right of M110. WARE via histogram (click for original)



NOAO ANDROMEDA IMAGE

Via color and density adjusters. Very little superform can be seen. (click for large color enhanced version - vertical streaking down the right half is image wash not deep space striations).

Noao in histogram then converted to negative. Very little superform can be seen.



SMALL ELLIPTICAL GALAXY M110

M110 is a difficult galaxy for photographers in having an undistinguished center so small it's pin point size is hardly bigger than a cluster of newbirn ultra hot supergiant stars.

At the same time, it is said, there is hardly no new star forming material (gas) in the mantle most of which is spent dust and rust from stars which have finished the job of furnace and exploaded, a long time ago, and, there are no discernable arms, all in all a rather blurry photographic subject.

Despite this tiny galaxy's deficits it is intriguing anyway, first because it seems evidentally streaming from Andromeda from below the upper deck helms of the rim after ploughing through in a caper leaving strew all the way to the rear of Andromeda's wide upper surface area, the strew in two seeming different streams one matter being dragged along by gravity the matter being blown back in the opposite direction by strong galactic winds from M110. This would be particularly true if M110 has an opposite charge (positive) to the charge of Andromeda (negative) if both were to be measured by net-volt voltameters which can tell when either charge dominates in a galaxy.



A main intrigue of M110 are those short evenly beaded star rings in the form of circular and arced curves, plus hot star clumps in broader sweeping arcs exactly as if arms of a small spiral galaxy which have been stripped of all sundry matter leaving the heavier star pods travelling on in the same directions as before as if all of the galaxy was still functioning, instead of just the calcium cells in the now denuded arms.

These can be called 'skeleton arms' and it is reasonable to suspect that skeleton arms within starry reaches in galaxies including the Milky way, can be found as husks still containing the outlines of original small spiral galaxy's arms.

These are found as tighly arrayed strings of stars travelling closely together along the arc of a former galaxy arm, and in even tighter star rings around intensly grabbing gravititational objects which are not seen, for instance in dense star forming star fields and nebulas.



The above view is from the Hunter Andromeda original and is unenhanced, Hunter has acquired the details within M110 with enough resolution that any attempt to enhance this image produces many results inside the mantle which become less clearly seen in overeruption of the bright center. If you download and view the above view in a graphics editor the winding strings called worms inside the mantle will be easier seen.

There are extremely thin long worms winding around the core in great beauty. Current resolution in this Hunter image (the first to show the worms), is too low to tell if these are made of stars, or if stars, what kind. If stars, these worms will be a remarkable form of starrring.

Stars and material in starrings can typically travel in smaller clumps within the torus of the ring, each clump is at a different angle each angle pointing to a different plane in a form of gravitic polarization, whereas to the naked eye looking at a photograph the stars in a necklace seem to be conjoined in an oval or circle whereas in stereo their is separation into beads of several stars each, uniquely bonded together.

Other features in the Hunter M110 image, comparing with other M110 images, continue next below.

Gendler M110 image viewed via histogram and then negative.



Noao M110 image enhanced with various adjusters. The worms and starrings are clearly seen here to, they seem outside a smaller mantle due to less capture of dim mantle material.







TANGO COLLIDING GALAXIES

Included are the Tango galaxies as an example of unsuspected missing mass not seen due to overcautious lack of enhancement in original image.

Here are galaxies whose giant superforms are hidden in photo dim medias. The Tangos, next, cannot be evaluated at all until their superforms are realized and yet speculations professionally abound using only the dim sall objects seen in the original.

TECHNICAL DATA - BY GENE HUNTER

I use filters to remove most of that stuff though since it ruins my photos. I really like taking deep, deep photo's to see what I can capture. I have a Telvue 76 and a 12" Meade scope. Is there any thing I could take for you in a paticular wavelength. Is there a wavelength I should focus on? I know this is a lot of questions but I would like to see these gravity waves for myself with my equipment. I see all sorts of things that are optical in origin and I ignore them. I noticed the bridge between M110 and M31 on my image and started searching to see if it was real or my imagination. Thats how I found your site. Your site was interesting and started me thinking about all those things I thought I had seen but everyone ignored. I would love to see something like this myself and maybe discover some bridge or other artifact that nobody else has discovered. It would be cool. So if you help me get started I will persue it. I have my own observatory on my property. Actaully there are Three observatories and 6 astronomers on my property.

A lot of astronomy images are one single image that has inherent noise and other problems. The images I am taking are multiple images aligned and stacked with an averaging algorithm that takes noise out. For instance the image I sent you is 4 hours of data. Each individual image is 2 minutes long. Meaning there are 120 images in the final stack. This along with subtracting dark frames from each individual image improves the quality over time. I am wondering if that is the reason you are not seeing the gravity waves.

Also My Scope is an APO and properly focuses 3 wavelengths of light. Therefore I use filters to block all the other light. The filter I use mainly is the UV/IR Baader filter for reducing blue and red problems. In an APO scope you will see blue halo's around stars that are blue as well as an Infra Red radiation everywhere if you do not block these out. My camera which is digital and unlike film properly records all wavelengths of light and has problems if you don't filter out the unecessary bands. Its also important to note that you can not focus those other bands with an APO and still have RB and G in focus. Its either one or the other can be in Focus. I do have a slew of filters though that allow me to photograph in either Blue light only, OII and HB only. Ha and IR only.

Also I wanted to tell you that I think I can see two bridges from M110 in my recent full image. One bridge would consist of dark matter or clouds of gas that have not yet formed stars and the other is lighter like an ion tail from a comet. Comets most times have two tails and likewise a bridge may have two components, one consisting of darker heavier matter and one consisting of lighter matter blown by the solar wind as opposed to pulled by gravity. Something to ponder.
