Centaurus A

First attempt at Centaurus A. I did post a picture in the beginners forum but I have worked a bit harder to bring out more detail.

Details
Scope: 8" Newt
Mount: EQ6
Camera: unmodded Canon 400D
ISO1600
Exposures: 25x60secs unguided
Stacked in DSS and processed in CS3

Cropped version

I'm fairly happy with the detail I have in the dust lane despite the short exposure length
