Centaurus A quickie
Geez, I'm calling 3 hour images quickies now.

Galaxy Centaurus A is the fifth brightest galaxy in the sky visually and also one of the closest radio galaxies to Earth. The center of the galaxy contains a supermassive black hole with a mass equivalent to 55 million solar masses.

GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, full spectrum Canon 1100D, Baader UV/IR cut filter, Baader MPCC MKIII, 246 x 45 seconds unguided on a HEQ5 Pro.

Larger field at Astrobin ---> https://astrob.in/347277/0/

There is some good detail and resolution. Might be a quickie at 3 hours but how many hours did it take to do the preprocessing

Stacking didn't take too long. Processing took a few hours but I didn't rush it and took it easy. I have to be in the mood.
