NGC 5128 (Another hamburger)

[PeterSEllis]

Hi Guys,
It has been quite some time since I've posted. This shot was done from my new Dark Site Observatory at Phillip Island (a few trees around that I would like to take to with a chain saw :question:). Phillip Island is much nicer site to Photograph from than my main site in Boronia, Melbourne. Unfortunately, Boronia is getting to the point where you can almost can read a book in the backyard, "in middle of the night" :(.

Wow thats lovely Peter. You simply can't beat imaging from a dark sky for stuff like this. That detail is so clear and the colour is gorgeous - in particular the 'mohawk' as i like to call it. Can't wait to see what else you can shoot over at the new obs. Congrats

Thanks Dave for you comments, a dark site is certainly much easier, Phillip Island is not has good as being perched on top of a mountain, but a vast improvement over Boronia. I have nearly 200 happy snaps in my collection, mostly Galaxies, I can see quite a few being re done "to drag out just that tiny bit more detail".

Thanks Greg, I'm working on my wife to get a permanent move down to Phillip Island, photographing down there is so much easier. :D
