Hi,
There's been some inspiring images of NGC 5128 lately.
I decided to dig out some old data and see if I could process more carefully to bring out the faint wisps of nebulosity around the bright centre.
I had reasonable success.:)
Here's my original from 2013

Think I will reimage now that I know I can achieve better results in processing.

Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D plus cooler box. 9 x 8 minutes at ISO 800. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker .Processed in Photoshop Cs2..
