Centaurus A

Just got home from a long weekend under dark skies. However the weather only let me get enough data for this one image, and even then not enough as this is still pretty noisy. This is just a quick process, I'm not really happy with the stars, couldn't get PI to do a nice masked stretch on the L. I want to grab some Ha for it then I'll have another go.

L = 8 x 10 minute
R = 10 x 5 minute bin2x2
G = 10 x 5 minute bin2x2
B = 6 x 5 minute bin2x2
