6 hour deep Centaurus A

Hi all
last night I did my deepest ever imaging run. 6 Hours on Cantaurus A with the 6 inch f3.6 SN, inspired by Mike's award winning effort

36x10 mins ISO 200. MPCC coma corrector Unfiltered. Modded 350D meade 6 inch f3.6 Cometracker SN

Imaging run hand guided throughout.

Gradients and light pollution were of course a big hassle

Can definately see the extended "lobes" either side of Centaurus A. Im happy to be able to get that from my urban location. One saving grace, it was rather cool so thermal noise wasnt a big problem
