Hi Astro-liano's , ,

I finally had some sky, albeit not that crash hot most of the time but some near 7/10 during early hrs last Sun 19th Feb whilst the Cent A galaxy was nice and high.
This is 13 x 7mins with the Orion ED100mm F/9 and 600D @ iso800, ICNR on each sub, some cloud interupted the run for 30 odd mins and had to re-frame; fortunately close enough for RegistaX to align all but the final did result with some field rotation, hence, the image has been cropped somewhat !
Also, Guiding was not great, bit out of practice maybe ? ? but hope you like it . It is however better than my last attempt of Cent A back in 2010, so I'm rather happy with it.
