South Pacific Star Party "Centaurus A"

This image was taken on the first night of SPSP at Wiruna dark sky site.
A fabulous event once again (my second SPSP) with really interesting talks, demonstrations. Lovely dark skies and awesome sponsors together make for an attractive few nights of camping , observing and meeting people.
I only managed marginal polar alignment this first night so this image is around a 50% crop of the 1000D sensor. I had around 40 subs captured but could only use 28 as I think a cable jam put pay to many of the latter subs. Anyways they were all 5 minute subs at 1600 ISO. I also removed the field flattener / reducer to get a slightly larger subject in my little refractor.
Full resolution image is here.
