Centaurus A

Centaurus A is the fifth brightest galaxy in our sky and located in the constellation of Centaurus. Perhaps is most unique feature is that incredible dust lane that runs across its middle. This image was taken on the 17th of May 2015, Heathcote, Victoria. Good conditions. A rare event indeed. Slight crop to remove stacking errors.
