(Quite) Deep Centaurs A

Hi all, I evetually being able to process my shot of Centaurus A from the data I collected few months ago. This is not as deep and as detailed as the great and famous image taken by Mike, my total exposure was about half with a slightly smaller scope and with lower imaging scale, however I am quite satisfied with the result since the field of view is quite large and it is possible to see some dust and faint galaxies in the background apart the two lobes extending perpendicular to the dust lane.

Here is the link:

Total exposure was 13 hours (LRGB) from Coona. Other details on the page.

I really recommend you to see the full res zoomify version, you can as usual get the image visible full screen clicking the button at the right of the control bar. You can navigate there from the main page or clicking the direct link below:

Hope you will like it.
