A pair of galaxies

Hey all,

No wall of text today, just a pair of galaxies imaged from my Bortle 6 back yard.

NGC4945
NGC5128 (aka Centaurus A)

I never realised how big and bright '5128 is. If I'd known I'd have imaged it ages ago...

SW72ED @ 420mm / HEQ5-Pro / ASI183MC-Pro / SV165+SV305 / Kstars+Ekos

NGC4945: 360*20" + 120*30" + 60*60"
NGC5128: 60*60"

All at Gain 100, Offset 10, Temp = 0 degrees with 50 flats / darks / darkflats per exposure duration.

Stacked and pre-processed with Siril, finished with Affinity Photo.

Cheers,
V
