Our existing 900ks image of the core of the Perseus cluster has revealed a wealth of detail on the bubbles, shocks and ripples caused by the action of the central AGN on the surrounding ICM. Most of the advances are directly due to the high surface brightness of the Perseus cluster (higher than any other cluster) and to the high spatial resolution of Chandra. This resolution is degraded significantly 4 arcmin or more off-axis, meaning that the region studied at the highest resolution is quite small. Here we propose three further exposures totalling 700ks to extend the highest resolution region, covering areas to the N and S of the nucleus where the current data suggest the presence of further intriguing and important structures due to the AGN activity.
