NGC 5128 and supernova

Had a go at Centaurus A last night to see if the recent supernova was visible.

14 x 20 minute images with a QHY8 on a GSO RC8. The supernova is visible when viewed at 100%
(see full size version on Astrobin) as a small red bump on the bright star in the top left of the central dust lanes.

I presume less aggressive processing would bring it out better?? i.e. rather than focussing on bringing out details in the dust lanes, etc
