Thanks Mike, would have to agree, not up to your standards as yours and Marcus's are two of the finest I've seen of late
but another one for my collection
Grant, not sure never really thought about it but interesting point although Wikipedia states
Centaurus A (also known as
NGC 5128) is a prominent galaxy in the
constellation of
Centaurus. There is considerable debate in the literature regarding the galaxy's fundamental properties such as its
Hubble type (
lenticular galaxy or a
giant elliptical galaxy)
[7] and distance (10-16 million
light-years).
[2][3][4][5][6] NGC 5128 is one of the closest
radio galaxies to Earth, so its
active galactic nucleus has been extensively studied by professional astronomers.
[11] The galaxy is also the fifth brightest in the sky,
[11] making it an ideal amateur astronomy target,
[12] although the galaxy is only visible from low northern latitudes and the southern hemisphere.
