Yeah I dunno, together we have revealed about all there is in this galaxy for amateurs at visible wavelengths

soooo I have no desire really and I am sure
you won't be collecting Cen A light for at least century or so

buut never say never I guess..actually I did do a test image of Cen A on first light night with the AG12 back in 2011...it was crap, the seeing in Newcastle was atrocious

...hmmm even though the FOV is much smaller and would essentially only fit in the hamburger the current setup
should give higher resolution than I managed with the Starfire, sooo if the seeing cooprates hmmm?..ah see? there ya go! never say never
As to my favourite version of yours?...well they are both excellent of course but I
think the first version more seemlessly blended with my effort...but perhaps we give it a try
