Ngc5128

Hi,
I took this shot of NGC5128 on the 01-04-2012 at 00:58 AEST.
Shot is compiled of 55 x 42.1 second shots taken with a Meade DSI II Colour CCD on a Meade 203mm LX10 f/5 (Antares x0.5 focal reducer).
This is the longest exposure I have been able to take so far with an unguided mount. The mount I was using is a Skywatch NEQ6 with SynScan, but I don't have a guide scope as of yet.
I did most of the processing in Maxim DL 5.15 and tweeked it in photoshop. I am still learning how to process images at the moment and there are still a number of things like flats that I need to be able to do.
