Left: binned, median-smoothed grayscale map of M 49 showing residuals from the ELLIPSE model in the NGVS g-band imaging. Although there are artifacts due to the edges of the CCDs and to the bright stars (circular reflection with two sizes: 1 and 3 arcmin in radius), an extensive series of shells and filaments is apparent in agreement with Janowiecki et al. (2010). Right: toy-picture highlighting the diffuse features found in the left-image: the artifacts (green), shells and fan of material described in the text (gray) and VCC 1249 with its tail pointing toward M 49 (blue).
