Cheers Greg, was happy to pick it up so well, its pretty long! Given it's apparent length in my image is around 0.5 deg, at the 13 Million light year distance to Cen A, that's over 100,000 light years long, or about the whole distance across the Milky Way!

Also I recall Rick doing a Cent A not that long ago with an FSQ85 that showed the Ha jet very well also. It'd be worth a look at his rendition again.
Couldn't find it at his Astrobin pages, his CDK17 shot is there showing the jet but nothing with an FSQ85 that I could see
