Cool Centaurus A 2.5 hrs worth

Centaurus A 2.5 hrs worth of guiding nightmare.

Image composed of 7 X 20 minute exposures captured using QHY8 and Nebulosity2. Dark frames were taken but I had a light leak problem so they weren't used. Guiding is again an issue but working my way through this problem.

Guided with QHY5 and WO 70mm (new toy)(lovely little guide scope).
Camera QHY8 OSC Cooled CCD.
Telescope Vixen VC200L at F9 (1800mm)
Combined with Images Plus and follow up editing in Photoshop CS3.
Image resized using PS CS3 web photo.

Full frame image resized for posting.
Some hot pixels removed with PS clone tool.

Hope you enjoy.
