Really nice Centaurus A there Brett with a nice bright galaxy halo ..not sure on the rose red colour in the dust lane .. but a fine image none the less, well done to you both

Houghy: That full frame version of mine was processed to keep the brightness differential/enormous dynamic range real across the frame, ie if you can see the ultra faint galactic cirrus then the galaxy must be proportionally bright or the image looks silly, thus the inner detail will be very bright and some detail gets blown out (someone coined the term "respecting the light"...). The version (well one of ) processed to reveal the inner detail without galactic cirrus (using the same data set) is THIS one
