Colour composites produced from HST images (F850LP and F475W) at the Hubble Legacy Archive website. Top: a clear view of the 10′′ ring. Bottom: the very inner region of NGC 4371. The blue point source in the north is ≈4′′ from the centre. The bottom panel clearly shows distinct features in the very centre, all elongated, with major axes positioned along the east-west direction. From inside out, a bright yellow-reddish, slightly less elongated structure with a semi-major axis of ≈0.15′′. Further out, a dusty ring with semi-major axis of ≈0.6′′, and just at the outer rim of it, at ≈0.8′′, a bluish ring. These dusty disc-like structures were also noted by Ferrarese et al. (2006; see also Comerón et al. 2010). North is up, east is to the left.
