Centaurus A

I started trying to capture Centaurus A

30 @ 5min Iso1600
1 @ 3m14s Iso1600
Total integration 2hr 33min 14s
Darks and Flats plus some dithering did a great job getting the dust on my sensor.

I have to admit, I'm not that happy so far. Perhaps it's the light pollution and the moon being out (64%illum) reducing contrast, or maybe the CLS CCD filter is not great for galaxies? (It cuts 520-640nm completely as well as blues and violet below 460nm).
I also wish I did a bit more noise reduction at the start of processing but i consider this just a test.

This is my first time using 5min exposures, I'm slowly reducing flexure.
