You must have quite an archive hidden away Raymo.

Quite a good image of Centaurus A.

Apparently discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop from his home in Parramatta, NSW.

I suppose it hasn't changed much over the years :-)

No, it hasn't changed much, I was with him when he discovered it; looked
just like it does now.

Are you talking about Parramatta or Centaurus A. One of them Dunlop wouldn't recognise now.
