Centaurus A galaxy with starburst regions

Hi all,

Here's an image I recently did of the Centaurus A galaxy (NGC 5128).

It wasn't the best of weather conditions though I was quite excited to see the the bluish coloured features of the galaxy - nebula? Well apparently not according to [tornado33] they are starburst regions. Wow that's pretty kewl to see in this image!!!

There's a higher resolution version of this image at

The image was a 46 min autoguided exposure (23 x 2min subs) using my 12" GSO scope, you can see the rest of the imaging equipment details at the above link.
