NGC4945 in Centaurus

SPX350 F4.53, ATK-16HR, Baader filters, Astrodon Ha.

This is a big galaxy in Centaurus not far from Cent A and part of the same group at 11.7 mil lyrs distance. Quite a few HII regions visible and seems to have a brownish colouration possibly owing to its closeness to the Milkyway.

L=12x10m
RGB=6x5m
Ha=10x10min subs.

Thanks, John.
