NVO Summer School II

[Hans-Martin Adorf]

Hi Pepi,

thanks for your comment, which we appreciate over here. I myself am 
guilty of having found the composite Cen A image on the Web and 
subsequently having forgotten where it originally came from. I actually 
searched the Web without avail to find the source. We know that we need 
to add appropriate credits for the image on our GAVO Web site. Would you 
(or Margarita) mind suggesting a text that we could use?

Many thanks.

Hans-Martin
