Centaurus A quickie

Geez, I'm calling 3 hour images quickies now.

Galaxy Centaurus A is the fifth brightest galaxy in the sky visually and also one of the closest radio galaxies to Earth. The center of the galaxy contains a supermassive black hole with a mass equivalent to 55 million solar masses.

GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, full spectrum Canon 1100D, Baader UV/IR cut filter, Baader MPCC MKIII, 246 x 45 seconds unguided on a HEQ5 Pro.
