Had some troubles adjusting/installing autofocus on my refractor and after a couple of wasted nights mono imaging more obscure objects I tried some easier targets with OSC cams :P yes Eta and CentA { high smoke from burnoffs to contend with}

Eta 60x60sec QHY168c/FSQ-106EDX111

Eta Carinae nebula is yummy. A treat to look at.

The main body of NGC 5128 (excluding the newly gobbled edge-on spiral) being an ancient elliptical galaxy, will be composed of old cool stars with negligible gas. Therefore it should be a warm salmon pink colour, not a musk-stick pink. A tiny tweak will fix that.
