Its been a while but clear skys and a free night have finally coincided.

NGC 5826 is a small GC in Centaurus. At a distance of 40,000ly it has a magnitude of 9.3. The foreground star is M Centaurus or HD119831. It is a G class star at mag. 4.6, and 180ly away. L 20x30s RGB 20X20s

NGC 4945 is a lovely barred spiral in Centaurus at mag 9.3 and a distance of 11.7mly. It is classified as a Seyfert type 2 due to unusually energetic core X-ray emissions. This is the result of a quick test series and I hope to get back and shoot this properly LRGB this week. Luminance only 15x1min subs.
