Centaurus A under blustery conditions

Captured Centaurus A last night under blustery 25 to 35km/hr westerly winds
Sky was as clear as it gets but wind and jet stream was screaming along
32 x 5 minute dithered guided subs
15 x darks
ISO 800
PHD2 ( 0.80 to 1.50 arc sec error )
Canon 600D ( sensor temperature was around 22deg , outside air temperature about 10 deg )
8” f5 newt on an EQ6-R Mount
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools
I’m surprised I even got some sort of image under the conditions
Thanks for looking

A fine image as is your M16 and Omega from yesterdays session, would have to be happy with how they turned out, despite the wind.

Both this and the M16 image are great Martin. You have to be happy with that and doubly so given the conditions. The wind here was strong enough to blow all manner of things around my garden so I didn’t dream of heading out, plus it was a week night.

Wind or not that's still a great capture.
