Centaurus A - cringe - its 7 hours worth

A woefull result after 3 nights of imaging this is a poor 7 hours worth of photons of Centaurus A. I cant push it anymore as the light pollution has simply made the outer area extinct of data. A DSLR simply has its limits! I was going to image this for longer but after discussions with the Centaurus DEMIGOD i realsied that this will be an unachievable goal from the Doghouse unless there is a total power outage in newcastle at night for 3 days. Now whats the likelyhood of that?

this is a crop form the full image size as i had noise from the AMP glow to remove as well.

Its horrible, nasty and probably could be processed slightly better, but without divine intervention this is as good as i can get my bucket of photons i have collected!

Quite simply - light pollution sucks
