Centaurus A 24/2.

I had loads of gradients in this pic, Lum and RGB looked awful.
Learned a thing or two on the net and here is the result.
Comments welcome so i can learn more.

This is pretty good Marti

I recon Centaurus A looks great in a good sized star field, it places it in perspective compared to the usual hamburger.

Thank you Mike :thumbsup:
I agree, sometimes an object looks different in a large void (uhmmmm stars).

Nice one Martin :)
Crisp pic with plenty of detail, but nice and soft on the galaxy with plenty of faint cloud coming through.

Very Pretty Martin,

I like the result, the framing gives it a depth, you dont always see when you get up close. Also, this is probably the best rendition I have seen of Cent A that reminds me of what it looks like in my widefield eyepiece, although with MUCH more stars.

Thanks for posting that, its a beauty!

Cheers

Good one Martin the larger image file looks tight in the centre but elongation showing in the corners have you nailed this down, star colour is good

Thank you Trevor :thumbsup:
I have polar aligned better last night and will have a look tonight if it is better.
