Hello, here is my first go at Centaurus A
140x60sec lights, 30 D, 90 F, 90 DF, 30bias.
EQ6-R, SW250 F4, quattro coma corrector, canon 600D unmodded.
probably needs more time, better skies, better processing and new camera!
Comments welcome, Rob.

I consider that to be a very fine image which I can not fault. Very well done I only wish I could produce such a great result.

Thanks, Alex
I probably should stick to brighter objects, but it was fun capturing it and having a go at processing it, Rob

Wow nothing to be ashamed of there! Nice contrast and colour, plenty of detail too. That’s a cracking shot well done!!

That 10" has certainly resolved the interesting stuff in the core. Nicely done Rob and with a DSLR too, they are being used less for astrophotography these days but can obviously still produce the goods in the right hands. Top job! :thumbsup:

Thanks David. There’s so much to learn in this hobby. Processing is a challenge.
Cheers, Rob

Thanks Michael, I do enjoy using the DSLR but an Astro camera one day would be nice. I’m not sure which one would be best with my setup.
Cheers, Rob
