True! And I'm a bit of a sucker for galaxies that have these kinds of rewards, but limited by my 650mm focal length and not very dark skies. I guess that before trying Cen A, I wasn't convinced I'd have the resolution or depth to get much of the blue starclouds and certainly didn't think I'd see anything at all of the jet that shows up so wonderfully in the megadata images like Mike and Rolf's. But you never know till you try
It's still not as smooth as I'd like, but I'm not entirely sure I'll have the patience for another 4 hours to reduce the background noise substantially further, but maybe I'll fiddle with the processing again sometime it's very cloudy here.
