Centaurus A from Qld Astrofest - ode to Mike
I had avoided shooting Centaurus A at Astrofest as it rotated down somewhat low during the night. By the third night I realised it doesn't get much better (darker) than this, even if it was only 30-40 degrees high.
4 x 5 mins was the best I could do before a tree and roof started to get in the way (and my camera battery was threatening to quit anyway).
Bit noisey, but pleased to finally be able to see more of the surrounding nebulosity that's gets obliterated from Bris.
Canon 450D 4 x 5 mins ISO 800, calibrated, on the 8 inch Newt
(Cropped in slightly for centering too)
