5128 very small.
NGC 5128 taken at Snake Valley Astro camp on Saturday night.
The image details:
Camera: QHY9 mono with Baader LRGB filters. Thanks Theo.
Telescope: Takahashi FSQ 106ED at F5
10 X 10minute Lum frames binned 1 x 1
5 each RGB 10 minute frames binned 2 x 2
all images calibrated with a very small set of calibration files.
I initially thought the night was going to be a non event because I couldn't get my guider going. I rebuilt the laptop a while back and must have forgotten to install the guider drivers. Took a while for the penny to drop but when it did it was a relatively easy task to get it all working.
This is one of the results.
The first image is a full frame and the second is a crop of the galaxy.
