I'll wait for your input in the Science forum.
Finally(!) I have been able to produce a UV image which doesn't look like a "stained sample" which I believe indicates what an NUV image of Centaurus A is supposed to deliver, a dust lane that is more optically opaque and an enhancement of the OB associations.
The OB associations are far more conspicuous than in any visual light image.

This has been a real nightmare to successfully process.
